VARIETIES 



Alice. Large well-formed trusses that have the appearance of 

 having been wrought into perfection of shape by trained human 

 hands. Every truss is pyramidal in form, the large individual flor- 

 ets closely placed. Color is Light Vinaceaus Violet, practically a 

 self, with buds only slightly darker. One of the best in the list, 

 and stock is extremely limited $5.00 



Abundant Bloomer. Argylc Purple by Ridgway. Much pink- 

 er in effect than this would indicate. Huge blooms produced in 

 such profusion as to weight down the branches. Single blossoms, 

 trusses of individual shape, ten inches in length. Many varieties 

 of lilacs bloom abundantly in alternate years, but this one never 

 fails to come up to expectations. Fair number of plants of this, 

 but not very large in size: 18-in. to 2 > 2 ft $5.00 



Clara. Freshly opening blooms give the effect of pink and red 

 from a short distance, but when fully opened take on more lilac 

 tones. Pale Verbena Violet. Vinaceous Lilac buds. Single flowers, 

 quite late in the season. Very upr'.ght in habit, and in alternate 

 years is a mass of bloom, but rests up in between. One of the love- 

 liest lilacs to be seen anywhere $4.00 



Hulda. One of the darkest varieties, a fine rich piece of color. 

 This was formerly carried by Mrs. Klager as "Dark Purple" but 

 is now being listed as "Hulda" to give it greater distinction. Along 

 the lines of the well known dark variety Ludwig Spath, but in- 

 clined toward the deep purple rather than the red. Full blown 

 flowers Light Purilla Purple by Ridgway. Buds very much dark- 

 er. This is a heavy bloomer, and one of the favorites at the Klager 

 display gardens. Large single blossoms $5.00 



Mrs. Morgan. To my mind the finest lilac in this list, and of 

 the greatest individuality. Ridgway classes it as Pale Mauve, and 

 when seen in the sunlight it gives the effect of opalescent orchid. 

 The color is exceptionally clear, showing no other tones, and the 

 florets are semi-double, waved and twisted. However, the trusses 

 are perfect, very large, and withal one could hardly ask for any- 

 thing more entrancingly beautiful in a lilac. Seldom throws a 

 sucker, and stock on hand is very limited. About twenty well- 

 rooted, own-root plants to offer this year $8.00
