| We are researching the origin and history of the President Lincoln Lilac for a restoration project of our local historic lilac arboretum. Do you have any info on time frame, hybridizer, etc? |
| In a quick search I was unable to locate information specifically about that lilac except a brief mention indicating the hybridizer as Dunbar and the year 1916. However, you might be able to find something about it in the book "Lilacs - The Genus Syringa" by John L. Fiala (Timber Press) or perhaps through the Internation Lilac Society at http://lilacs.freeservers.com/ You might also try contacting some of the other lilac collections across the country to compare notes. The Society web site includes a listing with contact information to help you get started. Best of luck with your restoration project! |
