UR lilacs are well grown in nursery rows with sufficient space between to insure good growth. The dark single varieties, we find, are not such fast or robust growers as the double forms, and in these dark single kinds the plants will not be so sturdy as in other varieties.

Lilacs absolutely require good drainage, and it is useless to try to grow them in damp or badly drained soils. Ground bone, a mulch of manure in the winter and good cultivation are very beneficial to them. They like sun and air and for the very best results, should not be planted less than ten feet apart. They will, however, grow well if somewhat crowded, but will not make finely shaped bushes.

In regard to pruning, it is rather difficult to give instructions, as different plants require different treatment. It is well to remember that the blooms come on the last year s growth, so that if this is pruned they will not flower. On the other hand, a thinning out of the inside growth to let the sun and light in, helps them greatly.

Although lilacs transplant easily and seldom die from this cause, they rather resent being moved, as it generally takes a year or two for them to recover.

We take the greatest care in packing to prevent the drying out of the roots, but even with the best of care this will sometimes hap¬ pen. It is well, therefore, if the roots seem dry on arrival, to place in water for about half an hour or so before planting. After planting, a good soaking is a great help to them. Later on do not water too much. If the ground becomes dry, watering is advisable, but do not overdo it.

March and November are the two best months for transplanting lilacs.

(HE business of Cedar Hill Nursery was founded in 1910 by tbe late Theodore A. Havemeyer who successfully developed it into an institution which is known for its integrity in the horticultural world. Since his death on July 30. 1936, the business has been continued on the prin¬ ciples laid down by Mr. Havemeyer.

The collection of lilacs at Brookville is considered one of the finest in America. Practically every variety devel¬ oped by Victor Lemoine of France, and later his son, Emile, has been imported and cultivated at Cedar Hill. Additional importations from other growers and our own efforts at hybridization and propagation have combined to bring the collection to its present outstanding status.

Many years have also been devoted to the develop¬ ment of a large and distinctive collection of irises, peonies, some perennials and certain rock plants. In this little book¬ let we present a few varieties from each group, with the express purpose of simplifying the problem of selection. For those who wish to choose from the large collection available, a visit, if possible, or a letter is suggested.

CULTIVATION

Most irises will succeed well in any type of soil, from almost pure sand to stiff clay. When one may choose, a medium-heavy, fairly well-enriched soil is to he preferred. A heavy soil may he improved hy the addition of sand, sifted coal ashes, wood ashes, gypsum or pulverized limestone. For light, sandy soils inclined to he too porous or open, gypsum or limestone is effective. When it comes to drainage the iris is the most particular of plants so that thorough drainage is the first essential of iris growing.

Bearded irises should he planted almost on the surface, Japanese irises and other beardless types somewhat deeper hut not deep and hulhous irises from three to four inches. They may be planted at any season of the year when not in bloom al¬ though the time usually recommended is July, August and early September.

RATINGS

The figures given immediately following tfie name of a variety are tfie official ratings by tfie American Iris Society, tfie first being tfie "Exhibition Rating” or tfie rating as an exhibition flower; tfie second figure being tfie ' Garden Rating” or tfie rating for its garden effect. One hundred is considered perfect by tfie American Iris Society, but as there is no such thing as perfection because of tfie necessity of leaving room for improvement, no iris has ever been rated 100, tfie official ratings being as follows:

95	almost perfect
90	very fine
85	fine
80	very good
70	good
60	good but not outstanding
50	fair
Below 50	poor
