LILACS, New Hybrid. The old common lilac has gone, 
out-dated. It has been surpassed by the more beautiful 
hybrid grafted lilacs. Why? Because the new lilacs 
do not sucker; because they bloom when 3 years old (not 
7 years); because the bloom covers the bush from top 
to the ground with much larger flower clusters, and 
because they come in many colors, white, pink, red, 
wine, blue, purple, and violet. These new lilacs, work 
of the plant breeder’s art, must be grafted the same as 
an apple tree, so one may have the variety one wants. 
We have secured the judgment of the best lilac men of 
America as to “which are best”. We here offer you 
the finest of grafted hybrid lilacs in a range of colors.
