THE OWN-ROOT LILAC 
is the only Lilac one should plant Jl 
Mme. Casimir Perier. 
President Loubet. 
JOSIKAXSA (Hungarian Lilac). A distinct late flowering spe¬ 
cies from Asia. It forms a small tree if desired, otherwise 
grows naturally as a bush. Has large, shining leaves, and 
dark purple flowers. Late. Own-root, 2 to 3 ft., $1.50. 
JULES SIMON. Double. Immense flower with very large flor¬ 
ets. 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 to 3 ft., $1.50; 3 to 4 ft., $2.00. 
KATHERINE HAVEMEYER. Double. This great Lilac fairly 
outdid itself during the 1935 season. The bush is symmet¬ 
rical, a good grower, and a profuse bloomer. The color is 
most pleasing, soft mauve to pink with deep bright rose at 
the tips of the opening buds. Panicles large, long, cone- 
shaped, densely packed with florets of greatest size. A very 
dependable bloomer. Color effect pink. 
Own-root, 2 to 3 ft., $2.50; 3 to 4 ft., $3.50. 
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 empha¬ 
size 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. 
MILTON. Single. A very late variety. Panicles of large size, 
cone-shaped, held well erect. A deep dark red purple that 
holds its color unusually well in the sun. A new variety that 
is really choice. Blooms so profusely as to almost hide the 
bush. Own-root, 2 to 3 ft., $2.50; 3 to 4 ft., $3.50. 
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 dou¬ 
ble florets almost twice the size of those of any other white. 
In our estimation, this is the greatest double white Lilac and 
one of the three or four finest of all Lilacs. 
Own-root, strong 2 to 3 ft., $3.50; 3 to 4 ft., $5.00. 
MME. FLORENT STEFMAN. Single. Tall upright grower; 
light, clean foliage; long, medium, compact panicles. Pure 
white with large beautiful florets. 
Own-root, strong 2 to 3 ft., $1.00. 
MME. ABEL CHATENAY. Double. Beautiful, great, round, 
globe-shaped buds like Lily-of-the-Valley, which open very 
slowly into a very large bloom of pure white. A sort very 
much admired. 
Own-root, strong 2 to 3 ft., $1.00; 3 to 4 ft., $1.25. 
MME. CASIMIR-FERIER. 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 beautiful Lilacs. 
Own-root, strong 2 to 3 ft., $1.00; 3 to 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 to 3 ft., $1.00; 3 to 4 ft., $1.25. 
MONT BLANC. Single white. This beautiful Lilac is one of 
the very best of the single whites. The plant is compact and 
shapely in growth, with clean foliage. The panicles are large, 
rather compact and of beautiful form. The florets are im¬ 
mense in size. Color a creamy white. 
Own-root, strong 2 to 3 ft., $1.00; 3 to 4 ft., $1.50. 
OLIVIER DE SERRES. Double. Tall bush, good grower. 
Large to very large open panicles. Large florets with large 
individual petals. A clear, clean, pleasing lavender. One of 
the extra choice Lilacs. 
Own-root, strong 2 to 3 ft., $2.50; 3 to 4 ft., $3.50. 
PASCAL. Single. Early. Very large thifty bush. Medium late. 
Lacy delicate pink. Panicles come in great open plumelike 
bouquets. Very tall growing Lilac. Own-root, 3 to 4 ft., $1.50. 
PRESIDENT LOUBET. Double. Red. One of the very choic¬ 
est. Medium height plant. Panicles appear rather small just 
as the florets begin to open but they slowly develop as the 
florets continue to open until they become immense. A bright 
red in the bud stage, but showing considerable white on the 
inner edge of the opened petal. One of the very best. 
Own-root, strong 2 to 3 ft., $2.50; 3 to 4 ft., $3.50. 
PRESIDENT POINCARE. Double. Very thrifty plant; grows 
into a large, heavy limbed bush. Panicles large to very large, 
globular, made 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. 
Own-root, strong 2 to 3 ft., $2.50; 3 to 4 ft., $3.50. 
PRES. VIGER. Panicles are forked, long, and large. A pink 
light purple fading to blue-lavender. Pink very pronounced 
as the florets open. A tall upright growing bush that makes 
a splendid bush. Very thrifty. 
Own-root, 2 to 3 ft., $1.50; 3 to 4 ft., $2.00. 
INSIST on Own-Root Lilacs 
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 Lilac3. 
It is the OWN-ROOT on a French Lilac that makes it cost more. 
Our French Lilacs are on their own root
