My Favorite. This form, named by the introducer, is the most 

 widely distributed of her productions. It is very early, a profuse 

 bloomer, and of a color tone quite unique. Before the buds open 

 they are very dark, gradually becoming "smokier" and then burst 

 forth into extremely double florets of a silvery and slaty lavender 

 tone within, smoky purple without. The opening buds remind 

 one of the sheen on Concord grapes. Technically, the colors are 

 Bishop's Violet with Rose Purple buds. 



We have a large stock of this, in wonderful plants, all own-root 

 of course, and are making a special offer on it to acquaint flower 

 lovers and fanciers with these Klager lilacs. If you could but see 

 the twelve foot specimens of this in the gardens at Woodland, 

 waving their thousands of bloom heads in the May breeze, you 

 would not go another season without "My Favorite."

R. W. Mills. In size of truss this ranks as one of the very larg- 

 est, with semi-double florets, of curled and hooked character. Col- 

 or is Hays Lilac, Rose Purple buds. Effect is deep pink, almost 

 rose. Here again the writer would think twice before choosing any 

 other in this list as the best. The astonishing size of this variety, 

 together with the attractive formation of the blossoms, make it an 

 appealing sort. Fine plants $5.00 



Ostrander. Another of the pronounced double ones. The flow- 

 er is built along the lines of "My Favorite" but is redder and pink- 

 er in tone, and is very late while this last named is exceptionally 

 early. Due to an oversight we did not get the Ridgway description 

 of this. It gives an impression of fairly deep carmine in the bud, 

 lighter and showing shadings of heliotrope and silvery rose when 

 opened $5.00 



FRENCH LILACS 



We are closing out our stock of French Lilacs, it being our in- 

 tention to handle in the future only the Klager forms. Stocks of 

 the following are variable, of some we have quite a few, others 

 only a half-dozen or so. All have been growing in splendid soil 

 for two years, and were good saleable plants when first placed
