wae THIS IS THE YEAR OF THE LILAC xx 
At the close of 1958, after the lapse of twelve years, The American 
Association of Botanical Gardens and Arboretums issued its revised Lilac 
Survey—“Lilacs for America.” Under the chairmanship of the distin- 
guished director of the Arthur Hoyt Scott Horticultural Foundation of 
Swarthmore, Pa., Dr. John C. Wister, the Survey Committee has brought 
up to date our information about lilacs, and, particularly, has once again 
selected the best lilacs for American gardens—132 of them. 
We at Strawberry Hill were happy to serve among the collaborators 
who made these selections. The great majority of the list we offer below 
is among the recommended varieties and all have a rightful place in 
the garden. These are the lilacs for 1954—prolific, vigorous and of out- 
standing beauty. 
“Lilacs for America” contains a wealth of information about this 
superb shrub: its history; originators and introducers of varieties; classi- 
fication and a check list of names; and much useful gardening and 
botanical data. It can be obtained from us at $1.00. Every purchaser of 
5 lilac bushes or more will receive a free copy.
