OWN-ROOT LILACS 
People familiar with Lilacs know the importance of having 
lilacs grown on eir 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. 
Every 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. 
TERMS: Cash with order or 25 per cent payment with order, 
balance C.0.D. <All Lilacs and other Shrubs shipped by express
