BRAND'S OWN-ROOT LILACS 
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. 
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. Own-root, 2 to 3 ft., $1.50. 
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. 
JULES SIMON. Double. Immense flower with very large 
florets. Deep purplish blue to lavender. Here is another 
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, 2-3 ft., $1.50; 3-4 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- and 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. 
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. 
MARCEAU. Double. Immense panicles of a pure lilac- 
mauve. Although we really believe Leon Gambetta is 
the most beautiful of all Lilacs, we must admit that 
we also believe Marceau the most sensational. Its 
panicles are so large, so dense, and yet so beautiful 
that one can scarcely believe one’s eyes when they see 
good Marceau. (Lemoine lists Marceau as a single. We 
purchased this variety and it is a double. We do not 
know the true name but it is one of the very finest of 
all and you cannot be without it). 
Own-root, 2 to 3 ft., $3.50; 3 to 4 ft., $5.00 
MARC MICHELI. Double. Another great blooming Lilac 
with fine, full panicles of lavender-mauve borne in 
great quantities. 
Own-root 2 to 3 ft., $1.50; 3 to 4 ft., $2.00. 
MARIE LEGRAVE. Single. Pure, creamy white. To us, this 
good single French Lilac is a special sensation. Pan¬ 
icles very large and rather openly built. The individual 
petals and florets are very large. Blooms profusely, 
often as a two-year-old. Sells very readily at a good 
price as a cut flower. 
Own-root, 2 to 3 ft., $1.C0; 3 to 4 ft., $1.25. 
MIRABEAU. Single. An early, free-blooming, deep helle¬ 
bore-red expanding to lobelia-violet. 
Own-root, 2 to 3 ft., $1.00; 3 to 4 ft., $1.50. 
MISS ELLEN WILLMOTT. Double. A large bush with very 
stout limbs and large, thick, light green leaves. The 
flowers come in immense panicles of creamy white, 
made up of double florets almost twice the size of those 
of any other double white. In our estimation this is 
the greatest double white Lilac and one of the three or 
four finest of all Lilacs. 
Own-root, 2 to 3 ft., $3.50; 3 to 4 ft., $5.00. 
MISS FLORENT STEPMAN. Single. Tall, upright grower; 
light, clean foliage; long, medium, compact panicles. 
Pure white with large, beautiful florets. 
Own-root, 2-3 ft., $1.00; 3-4 ft., $1.25. 
MME. ANTOINE BUCHNER. Double. Tall, upright growing 
bush. Dark colored foliage with dark purplLh bark on 
the new growth. Panicles long, narrow and held up¬ 
right. Color a rich deep violet-purple showing much 
deep blue. Very rich and fine. 
Own-root, 2 to 3 ft., $2.50; 3 to 4 ft., $3.00. 
MME. CASIMIR-PERIER. Double. Creamy white. This is a 
very thrifty growing variety. It produces a profusion 
of large panicles of very double, creamy white flowers. 
The bush is of medium height, compact, with bright, 
light green foliage. This is a splendid variety, but we 
have worked up a large stock, so we are making a 
special price. Everyone should plant one of these beau¬ 
tiful Lilacs. 
Own-root, strong, 2-3 ft.. $1 00; 3-4 ft.. $1 25, 
MME. LEMOINE. Double. One of the best of the double 
whites; a pure snow-white without tinge of cream. 
Foliage dark green. Panicles large, long, erect; large 
individual florets. 
Own-root, strong, 2-3 ft., $1.C0; 3-4 ft., $1 25. 
MME. LEON SIMON. Double. Strong foliaged and strong 
upright growing plant. Panicles long, beautifully 
formed and held well up. Buds swell very large before 
they open and are a deep reddish pink on the reverse 
side. Florets open like little roses of a deep bluish 
lavender. Own-root, strong, 2 to 3 ft., $2.00.
