A truss of the superb French hybrid lilac, CAPITAINE BALTET 
LILACS IN YOUR GARDEN 
The old-fashioned lilac bush growing near the farmhouse is almost 
a symbol of the American countryside. But over the years, the newer 
lilacs, with their ever-widening range of coloring and form, their massive 
pannicles of flowers and varying foliage, have all but transformed 
the species. New introductions, moreover, have lengthened the blooming 
period, so that now you may have very early, middle season, and late 
varieties—from late April well into June. 
Yet the lilac still remains a shrub of comparatively easy culture 
and fits well into any kind of planting scheme, from the modest back- 
door garden to the carefully planned lilac walk. With moderate care 
a bush will last for generations, increasing in beauty every season 
and always accenting the return of spring.
