THE NEWEST LILACS. 



DOUBLE AND SINGLE. 



For years we have been collecting from various sources the best Lilacs, and take pleasure in now 

 offering a selection embracing the best varieties known. We have imported annually the introductions of 

 the celebrated French raiser, Mr. Lemoine, and have in stock the cream of his offerings. 



The improvement in the Lilac, especially in the double sorts, during the last ten years is marvelous, and 

 all lovers of this flower will be delighted with these novelties. In size, form and color they far surpass the 

 old favorites and we confidently recommend them to our patrons. Nothing that has been introduced 

 recently is likely to prove so popular as the New Lilacs.
