of Lilacs to name the 10 varieties they consider the best, Comte de Adrien Montibello is almost 
invariably named among them. A very double, very large, compact panicle of as near a good 
blue as can be found in Lilacs. 2 to 3 ft., $3.00; 3 to 4 ft., $5.00.

of the first named. We place Congo among the six best of all Lilacs. 
2 to 3 ft., $3.00; 3 to 4 ft., $5.00.

DE MIRABEL. Single, dark bluish violet. This is by far the darkest of all our Lilacs and was ad¬ 
mired by everyone who saw it because of its being so distinct in color from all the others. It is

Very noticeable. This Is one blue you should really have. 2 to 3 ft., $5.00.

superb on the ten plants we carry in our show bed. Panicles are of immense size of beautiful form 
and held very erect. This year we measured blooms 12 inches deep and 11 inches in diameter

panicle, very full and compact. The color, a bluish mauve. 3 to 4 ft., $1.50; 4 to 5 ft., $2.50. 
EDITH CAVELL. A very showy, pure milk-white; buds suffused cream and pale sulphur. Panicles 
extra large, long and cone-shaped. This Lilac is as large and as fine as Miss Ellen Willmott, but 
is a different type of flower. Ellen Willmott is more compact and perfect in form while the 
panicle of Edith Cavell is a trifle more open and more lacelike in effect, and it is also earlier. 
Every fine collection should have both. 2 to 3 ft., $3.00; 3 to 4 ft., $4.00; 4 to 5 ft., $5.00.

double florets, with dense medium-sized blooms, broadly pyramidal. Another of the choice ones. 
We would class this as the best of the medium deep blues, yes, the best of all blue Lilacs.
