The GARDNER NURSERY LILAC COLLECTION contains most of the finest varieties of FRENCH LILACS in existence. We 
say the finest, because these varieties are so listed by “Lilacs for America’. We have 99 of the 100 listed as the very best and 
practically all our varieties are in the recommended list of that publication. 
We also have most of the Lilac species and many of the Hybrids between species, including practically all of the fine new Cana- 
dian Early Lilacs and many of the late Canadians. In all, we have more than 250 varieties of Lilacs, many so new and rare 
that they are offered by few nurseries. 
90GO080900O008080809689969 
Over 160 varieties of Lilacs are offered in this list, many of them scarce because they are new or difficult to propagate. The varie- 
ties and plant sizes we have to offer for Fall and Spring delivery are shown. Scarce varieties are marked with one ‘‘*’”’ after the 
name. We recommend that our customers indicate a second choice, if possible, when they order scarce items. We will not 
substitute unless the customer asks us to do so and we do not buy in stock to fill orders when we are short. 
Varieties marked ‘‘**’’ are sold out on stock available for Fail, 1951 and Spring 1952 delivery, but we expect to have plants ready 
for Fall, 1952 and Spring, 1953 delivery. Orders may be placed now for these varieties but it is not necessary to make a down 
payment until we notify you that plants are available for shipment. 
OWN-ROOT LILACS — People familiar with lilacs know the importance of having lilacs grown on their own roots. Such plants 
are easier to start and are as hardy and as long living as a common lilac. Grafted lilacs seldom do well until they produce their 
own roots. Some take years to do that, many never do and remain stunted and eventually die. 
Producing OWN-ROOT LILACS is slower and more costly than propagation by grafting; therefore TRUE OWN ROOT LILACS 
are offered by only a few specialists. 
“very GARDNER LILAC offered is a genuine OWN-ROOT plant, never a privet graft that may some day have it’s own roots if 
~~.,.planted deep. Every plant is grown right here in our nursery. 
The following is a list of lilac varieties and sizes of plants we have to offer for Fall, 1951 and Spring, 1952 delivery. For ease 
in finding each of the many lilacs we have, all varieties are listed in alphabetical order. EL means Early Lilacs. This class bloom 
a few days to a week or more earlier than the common lilac Vulgaris and the French Hybrids. Clusters are usually very large 
and graceful. The Canadian varieties (marked Can.) are of very recent introduction and the demand for them is increasing very 
rapidly. > 
LL means Late Lilacs. These lilacs bloom two weeks or more after the French lilacs, thus greatly lengthening the lilac season. 
All have single flowers. Abbreviations after the name indicate the parentage as follows: 
PR — Prestoniae — Villosa X Reflexa. 
JF — Josiflexa — Josikaed X Reflexa. 
NAN — Nanceianna — Henryi X Sweginzowi. 
SF — Villosax X Sweginzowi. 
HT — Henry I X Tomentello. 
FB means Fall Bloomers. We believe these two lilacs merit special mention because they are so different from any of the 
other lilacs and while they bloom heavily in Spring they also bloom again intermittantly in the Summer and Fall. They re- 
semble each other considerably in color and type of flower. Potanini is of more upright growth and the small leaf is quite olive 
green, while the Microphylla Superba foliage has a more blush tone and the bush is more spreading in growth . The Potanini 
buds are bright coral and ornamental for a long time before the flower opens. The blossoms are pinkish white with red throats. 
Microphylla Superba has about the same shade of buds and flowers though the threat markings are not as pronounced as on the 
Potanini.
