YOU'LL TAKE PRIDE IN THESE BEAUTIFUL FLOWERING SHRUBS 
WITH THEIR GORGEOUS BLOOM 
Shrubs 
FRENCH HYBRID LILACS 
These new improved Lilac varieties have been especially developed for new purity of color. 
They are almost unbelievably perfect shades of White, Blue, Red, and Purple. The shrub 
itself is slightly smaller than the familiar old-fashioned Purple Lilac but is equally hardy 
and easy to grow. These fine hybrids bloom very early and freely. Genuine Hybrid Lilacs 
usually bloom the very next year after planting. The blooms themselves are giant size— 
usually ten to twelve inches in length. This, with the exquisite coloring, makes the plant spec- 
tacular. One of the handsomest and most beautiful shrubs you can grow. Like other Lilacs, 
these French Hybrid Lilacs will grow and bloom for generations. It is not unusual for Lilacs 
to live and bloom at 60 to 75 years of age. You'll want to grow each of the four beautiful
