name is associated — to mention some 

 of tlieni at random — are astilbes, deut- 

 zias, begonias, dahlias, geraniums, x)eo- 

 iiies, delphiniums, jjyretlirums, pentste- 

 moiis, ghidioli, hcucheras, ))liloxes, chrys- 

 anthemums, spirii'as, honeysuckles, hy- 

 drangeas, weigelias, and — last but most 

 imjiortant of all — lilacs. 



A brief sketch of Lemoiiie's work with 

 lilacs may serve as well as anything to 

 give an idea of his motives ."uid his 

 methods. And here, again, is a chance 

 for a little profitable moralizing. 8ome 

 peojile never accomplish anything worth 

 while because they are always waiting 

 for a convenient time and the conven- 

 ient time never comes. Convenient 

 times arc about as scarce as the pro- 

 verbial hen's teeth. But Lemoine did 

 not wait. 



Obstacles Become Opportunities. 



lie began his experiments with lilacs 

 in his famous little nursery at Xancy 

 during the Franco-Cilerman war, in 1870- 

 71, when the city was occupied by the 

 enemy. His new undertaking was in- 

 tended chiefly as a nu'ans of diverting 

 his mind from the distresses of the 

 time. That course of action seems a 

 good deal like converting obstacles into 

 o])portunities. 



Another difficulty was liis defective 

 eyesight and the smallness and intri- 

 cacy of his materials. His primary aim 

 was to j)roduce a race of choice double 

 lilacs by crossing the best available 

 double form — if anything so bad can 

 be called best — with the excellent single 

 varieties. The primitive, inferior, unde- 

 veloped double lilacs, now practically 

 extinct, which Lemoine was forced to 

 use as the seed-bearer, was listed in 

 some of the contemporary plant cata-
