25 
PRESIDENT POINCARE. Double. Very thrifty 
plant; grows into a large, heavy-limbed bush.

up of many lobes. Petals very large, purplish 
red on outside, turning to lavender-blue as 
they open. An immense and impressive bloom. 
Very striking.

REAUMUR. Single. Violet-carmine. Panicles of 
immense size, even on small plants. One 3- 
to 4-foot plant had one great bloom, season 
of 1931, 16 inches through by 16 inches deep. 
Very showy. A sensational new Lilac. 
Own-root, strong, 2-3 ft., $2.50; 3-4 ft., $3.50. 
RENE JARRY-DESLOGES. Double. Azure- 
lilac-mauve with rose reflex. Panicles very 
large. A rare, delicate shade of blue. 
Own-root, strong, 2-3 ft., $2.00; 3-4 ft., $2.50. 
SENATEUR VOL1AND. Double. Very florifer- 
ous. A very pretty Lilac with a large bloom 
that is somewhat open. When in the bud the 
reverse of the petals shows a very distinct 
bright touch of pink which continues to show 
as the florets open and gives a very dainty 
effect to the bloom. Center of florets pinkish 
light lilac. Very dainty in its beauty. 
Own-root, strong, 2-3 ft., $1.00; 3-4 ft., $1.50. 
SOUV. DE LUDWIG SPAETH. Single. Red. Al¬ 
though one of the oldest of the improved 
Lilacs still it is one of the very best Lilacs 
grown. It seems impossible to get a red that 
has so many good, and so few bad qualities 
as Ludwig Spaeth. Panicles long and held 
erect well out from the foliage. Color a bril¬ 
liant intense rich purple-red, that holds up 
well in the sun and lasts a long time. Bush 
large and a very profuse bloomer. A wonder¬ 
ful Lilac. 
Own-root, 2-3 ft., $1.00; 3-4 ft., $1.50.

In placing your order for Lilacs, you 
will naturally compare prices. 
Do not confuse the prices of Lilacs 
grafted or budded on California Privet 
with the price of own'root Lilacs. 
It is the Own-Root on a French Lilac 
that makes it cost more. 
Our French Lilacs are 
on their own root.

STATZGARTNER ROTHFLEZ. Double. An upright growing shrub 
with long, cone-shaped panicles. A rich red-purple. 
Own-root, strong, 2-3 ft., $1.50; 3-4 ft., $2.00. 
THUNBERG. Double. Very large, long, slender spikes, generally 
two to the panicle. Buds and reverse of florets, a violet-mauve 
with a reddish appearance from a distance. Florets are large; 
open a light lilac, twisting and turning as they open, so that 
the color of the bud is intermingled with that of the inside of 
the petals. This makes all in all, a very striking Lilac which 
we chose as one of the best of the entire collection. Strong 
grower. Own-root, strong, 2-3 ft., $2.50; 3-4 ft., $3.50. 
VESTALE. Single. One of the best of the single whites. An upright 
growing bush with long, narrow, conical panicles which stand 
upright. 
Own-root, strong, 2 to 3 ft., $1.00; 3 to 4 ft., $1.50. 
VILLOSA. Another excellent Lilac for large and small plant¬ 
ings. Grows into a large shrub, 10 feet hi-gh, with large, 
heavy, waxy leaves. Comes into bloom when all other 
Lilacs are gone. Panicles large, broad, plumelike, a deli¬ 
cate pink color. 
Own-root, strong, 2 to 3 ft., $1.00; 3 to 4 ft., $1.25. 
Select, 4 to 5 ft. specimen plants, $2.00. 
VIOLETTA. Double. One of the very darkest Lilacs. Deep bluish 
violet—a very unusual color. Large, open panicle with very 
large individual florets. New. Very scarce. We have only ten of 
these to offer. 
Own-root, strong, 2 to 3 ft., $2.50; 3 to 4 ft., $3.50. 
VOLCAN. Single. One of the most robust and shapely growing of 
all of the best Lilacs. As near a true deep red as we have. Pan¬ 
icles which are very long, large, and shapely, come up well above 
the foliage. These panicles look rather open as they are in the 
bud stage but as they develop they open into one of the finest, 
most shapely, and largest of all these Lilacs. We have but a few 
plants in this variety for sale, as the demand for it is so great 
from people who see it on our grounds when in bloom that we 
seldom have any left. 
Own-root, 2 to 3 ft.. $2.00; 3 to 4 ft., $2.50.
