BRAND'S OWN-ROOT LILACS 
27 
REAUMUR. Single. Violet-carmine. Panicles of immense size, 
even on small plants. One 3- to 4-ft. plant had one great 
bloom season of 1931. Sixteen inches through by 16 inches 
deep. Very showy. A sensational new Lilac. 
Own-root, strong 2 to 3 ft., $2.50; 3 to 4 ft., $3.50. 
RENE JARRY-DESLOGES. Double. Azure-lilac-mauve with 
rose reflex. Panicles very large. A rare, delicate shade of 
blue. This is one of the finest of the Lilacs with blue shad¬ 
ings in it. It is very much admired even when it has passed 
its prime as its coloring is beautiful through all its changes. 
Own-root, strong 2 to 3 ft., $2.00; 3 to 4 ft., $2.50, 
ROTHOMAGENSIS. Richest colored and most beautiful of all 
the Persian Lilacs. A beautiful uniform deep rich rose color. 
Bush very graceful and very floriferous. One of the finest 
of all for working in tall untrimmed hedges. 
Own-root, 2 to 3 ft., $1.00; 3 to 4 ft., $1.25. 
SOUV. DE LUDWIG SPAETH. Single. Red. Although 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 brilliant intense rich purple-red, that holds up well in the 
sun and lasts a long time. Bush large and a very profuse 
bloomer. A wonderful Lilac. 
Own-root, 2 to 3 ft., $1.00; 3 to 4 ft., $1.50. 
STATZGARTNER ROTHPLEZ. Double. An upright growing 
shrub with long, cone-shaped panicles. A rich red-purple. 
Until recently Charles J’oly has been our only good double 
red. We have in Statzgartner Rothplez another fine red, 
giving bloom later than Chas. Joly. 
Own-root, strong 2 to 3 ft., $1.50; 3 to 4 ft., $2.00. 
THUNBERG. Double. Very large, long, slender spikes, gener¬ 
ally 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 to 3 ft., $2.50; 3 to 4 ft., $3.50. 
VAUBAN. Double. Another of the early hybrids. The most 
rapid grower in all our list of Lilacs. Large plumelike pan¬ 
icles; delicate pink. 
Own-root, 2 to 3 ft., $2.00; 3 to 4 ft., $2.50. 
VESTALE. Single. One of the best of the single whites. An 
upright growing bush with long, narrow, conical panicles 
which stand upright. This was our best single white this 
season. Own-root, strong 2 to 3 ft., $1.00; 3 to 4 ft., $1.50. 
Villosa. 
President Poincare. 
Thunberg. 
VILLOSA. Another excellent Lilac for large and small 
plantings. Grows into a large shrub, 10 feet high, with 
large, heavy, waxy leaves. Comes into bloom when all 
other Lilacs are gone. Panicles large, broad, plume¬ 
like, a delicate 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. 
VICTOR LEMOINE. We have finally come to the conclu¬ 
sion that the Lilac which for several years we have been 
offering under the name of Marceau is Victor Lemoine. 
This is about the most wonderful of all the French Lilacs 
and it is no wonder that Victor Lemoine, the originator, 
gave to it his own name. A great thrifty spreading bush 
covered with tremendous panicles of very double blue- 
lavender flowers. We class this as one of the five finest 
Lilacs. Own-root, 2 to 3 ft., $3.50; 3 to 4 ft., $5.00. 
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 10 of these to offer. 
Own-root, 2 to 3 ft., $3.00. 
WALDECK-ROUSSEAU. Double. A very large, rather open 
panicle, composed of large, very double florets on many 
branches. Large flower and very fine. Deep violet fading 
lighter. Own-root, 2 to 3 ft., $2.50; 3 to 4 ft., $3.50. 
WILLIAM ROBINSON. Double. Invariably well liked; al¬ 
ways chosen as one of the best. Very compact panicles, 
almost round. When florets are about to open, the bloom 
gives a very striking pinkish red effect which gives place 
to a lavender as the florets fully open and their reverse 
side turns back. Very much admired. 
Own-root, strong 2 to 3 ft., $1.00; 3 to 4 ft., $1.50.
