LILACS 
Lilacs are favorites in our gardens. In spring, starting in 
April, they begin flowering and by selection of varieties 
and species, there is a continuation or prolonged succession 
of lilac flowering until early June. Two species, Micro- 
phylla and Potanini, even repeat with occasional flowers 
during the late summer. 
Lilacs can be planted either in the fall or early spring. 
Their requirements are simple, they like plenty of sun and 
light, they reed soil that is free from any acid, well 
drained, though heavy enough to hold moisture. Feeding 
with old rotted cow manure and bone meal stimulates 
strong growth, good color and large flower heads, which 
is the best repellant against insects though only a very few 
are attracted by the lilac. Borers, which work in through 
the stem of the plant and into the heart, are the worse, 
and for this reason it is best to allow several shoots to 
grow from the base rather than just one. A stem infested 
with borers can be severed from the plant and the remain- 
ing stems will still provide a fairly good plant, while if the 
lilac is grown with only one stem allowed from the base, 
to cut off this would provide you with no plant at all 
until new shoots sprouted from the bottom. if at all. They 
like their roots cool so never plant them shallow and they 
feed from roots nearest the surface, therefore always apply 
food scratched into the surface and water well. They want 
plenty of water but make certain that it drains well for 
they will die in a position that is most always wet.
