President Loubet.

foliage. Large panicle with large florets. Reverse of 
petals blue, fading to lavender as bloom opens. Very 
choice. Only 6 to offer. Own-root, 2 to 3 ft., $3.00. 
BMIIiE GENTIL. A bright cobalt-blue, a very rare and 
pleasing shade among Lilacs. Extra large double flor¬ 
ets, with dense medium sized blooms, broadly pyram¬ 
idal. Another of the choice ones. Very rich. 
Only 6 to offer. Own-root, 2 to 3 ft., $3.00. 
GENERAL PERSHING. Rich purple-violet, in very long- 
blooms in compact clusters held erect. A very showy 
Lilac. Own-root, 2 to 3 ft., $3.00. 
GRACE ORTHWAITE. A real pink Lilac. Single. Upright 
spreading bush. Extremely thrifty. Panicles rather 
open, of medium size. Bloom comes well above the foli¬ 
age. Such a distinct pink, it is noticeable from a long 
distance. Own-root, 2 to 3 ft., $1.50. 
GEHEIMRAT SINGLEMARK. Single. A very deep blue; 
very striking and distinct color. If you are looking for 
an unusual Lilac, here it is! 
Own-root, 3 to 4 ft., $2.00. 
GEORGES BELLAIR. Double. Large, compact truss. A 
very pleasant shade of creamy white with distinct 
markings of bright pink on some of the petals which 
seem to give the entire great bloom a distinct tinge of 
pink. A crackerjack. 
Own-root, 2 to 3 ft., $2.50; 3 to 4 ft., $3.50. 
HENRI MARTIN. Double. Extremely long, graceful 
panicles. Beautiful blue-lavender—a splendid new 
Lilac. Our show plants of Henri Martin are right by 
the path as we go from the office to the trial fields 
beyond. We pass it many times a day when it is in 
bloom and we always stop and marvel at its beauty. 
Own-root, 2 to 3 ft., $2.50; 3 to 4 ft., $3.50. 
HIPPOLYTE MARINGER. Double. A large to very large, 
light pinkish lilac; with long, open trusses. The double 
florets as they open take on a fluffy effect which gives 
to the great panicles a peculiarly lovely appearance. 
We like it very much. 
Own-root, 2 to 3 ft., $2.50; 3 to 4 ft., $3.50. 
HUGO KOSTER. Single. One of the newer sorts and quite 
an improvement over older varieties of its color. Pan¬ 
icles very large, broad at base, and tapering nicely 
towards the top. Color a deep lavender with tracings 
of pink. Florets large and of great substance. Very 
beautiful. Own-root, 2 to 3 ft., $1.00; 3 to 4 ft., $1.50. 
JACQUES CALOT. Single. Very large panicles of rosy 
pink flowers with the individual florets very large. One 
of the old varieties but one of the most floriferous of 
the entire collection. The petals are nicely formed, and 
the bushes are simply covered with bloom of a distinct 
pink. One of our most admired Lilacs this season. 
Own-root, 3 to 4 ft., $2.50; 4 to 5 ft., $3.50. 
JAPONICA. Single. A very fine Lilac where a small tree 
is wanted in the rear of a lot or as a small lawn tree. 
Grows into a very clean and trim tree about 20 feet 
high; heavy, dark green, glossy foliage; great plume¬ 
like panicles of creamy white. This is the real tree 
Lilac. 
Own-root, strong, 2 to 3 ft., $1.00; 3 to 4 ft., $1.50. 
JAN VAN TOL. Single. This is the largest of all the 
single whites. The panicles are very broad and long 
with great large individual florets. Very fine for cut 
flower work. 
Only 11 on hand. Own-root, 2 to 3 ft., $2.50. 
JOSIKAEA (Hungarian Lilac). A distinct late flowering 
species from Asia. It forms a small tree if desired, 
otherwise grows naturally as a bush. Has large, shin¬ 
ing leaves, and dark purple flowers. Late. 
Own-root, 2 to 3 ft., $1.00; 3 to 4 ft., $1.25. 
JULES SIMON. Double. Immense flower with very large 
florets. Deep purplish blue to lavender. Here is an¬ 
other Lilac that will just surprise you when you see 
the great panicles begin to open. An extra large Lilac 
and a good one. 
Own-root, 2 to 3 ft., $1.50; 3 to 4 ft., $2.00. 
KATHERINE HAVEMEYER. Double. A splendid new 
Lilac which we have not had long enough to bloom on 
old bushes, but on 3- to 4-foot bushes in the show beds 
it gave us some wonderfully large panicles. Looks very 
choice to us. Intensely double. General color effect pink. 
Own-root, 2 to 3 ft., $2.00; 3 to 4 ft., $2.50. 
LEON GAMBETTA. Double. Panicles of the greatest size. 
Buds and reverse of petals very pink, which gives the 
flower a general pink effect. Deep pink buds open into 
very double little roselike florets of the daintiest pink 
and lavender. We still say it is the finest of all Lilacs 
and we want to emphasize this. There are many fine 
Lilacs but we believe this is the most beautiful of all. 
Own-root, 2 to 3 ft., $3.50; 3 to 4 ft., $5.00.
