The master hybridizer, M. Victor Lemcine, has touched with his magic this 

 old-fashicned flower so full of memories of the old homestead, and a new 

 world of wonderful blossoms has come, a multitude of new forms and colors, 

 a permeating fragrance that is Spring. ELLEN \A'1LLM0TT, with long 

 pointed snow-white trusses of flowers nearly an inch in diameter; MADAM 

 BUCHNER, flushed with soft rose; BELLE EE NANCY, soft lilac-pink ; 

 LEON GAMBETTA, with semi-double flowers almost as large and as 

 perfectly formed as tuberoses ; WALDECK-ROUSSEAU, great trusses of 

 dark violet. These and other varieties in great abundance as well as a pro- 

 fusion of old-fashioned flowers, Tritoma, Delphinium, Japanese Anemones, 

 Deutzia, Lonicera, Oriental Poppies, make my Wyomissing gardens the 

 Mecca of flower lovers in May and June, while many of the country's most 

 beautiful places repeat their fragrant glories. My Lilacs are grown on their 

 own roots, many of which I have imported direct from France. 



The old sweet-scented PHILADELPKUS (Mock Grange) that close 

 rival of the Lilac, has also received Lemome's particular attention and 

 should have yours. It is a refined and beautiful shrub and groups with the 

 Lilac most effectively. Forty varieties, of varying shapes and colors, in- 

 cluding the wonderful VIRGINAL, are in my collection. 



My PEONIES and IRIS have won expert praise and highest awards 

 everywhere — Gold Medal (highest award) and Certificate of Merit at the 

 Panama-Pacific Exposition for my German Iris. Gold medals of the Ameri- 

 can Peony Society, 1914 and 1916, for my Peonies.
