ALPHONSE LAVAIiLEE. Blue. Double. Tall, robust 
growing makes a very shapely bush. Panicles long, 
broad, shapely, and compact. Opens an Intense blue, 
but as the florets develop it changes to a beautiful 
shade of lavender. A wonderful bloomer. Splendid 
sort. Own-root, strong 3 to 4 ft., $1.50. 
BEBBTEB. Semi-double. A beautiful clear mauve with 
deeper shadings toward red. One of the very choicest 
of the early hybrids; distinctly different; also the 
latest of this new line of lilacs. Exceedingly pretty. 
Own-root, strong 3 to 4 ft., $2.50, 
CHARLES JOLY. Double. 
Purple-red. One of the 
very best of the double 
dark reds. Bush medium 
both in size and height, 
limbs growing very up¬ 
right. Rather large 
blooms, held erect well 
above the foliage; very 
striking. We consider this 
the best double red in our 
list. Own-root, strong 2 to 
3 ft., $1.00; 3 to 4 ft., $1.25. 
CONGO. Immense, single, 
wine-red. This is the best 
Lilac of its color. I have 
asked many Lilac experts 
for their choice of the 12 
most beautiful Lilacs. Al¬ 
most without exception, 
Congo is one of the first _ 
named. We place Congo among the six best of all 
Lilacs. 
Own-root, strong, 2 to 3 ft., $2.50; 3 to 4 ft., $3.00. 
CONDORCET. This is one of the very best of the blue 
Lilacs. The panicles are very broad and compact. The 
color is a clear rich light blue. If one wishes as near 
a blue as is to be had in a Lilac they will be pleased 
with Condorcet. Own-root, strong 2 to 3 ft., $3.00. 
EDITH CAVELL. Double. A glorious creamy white with 
unusually large florets. In the bud it is a deep rich 
cream opening to a pure cream white. As good a white 
as Ellen Willmott with a different shaped panicle. 
Own-root, 2 to 3 ft., $2.50; 3 to 4 ft., $5.00. 
GEORGES BELLAIR. Double. Large, compact truss. 
A very pleasant shade of creamy white with distinct 
markings of bright pink on some of the petals which 
seem to give the entire great bloom a distinct tinge 
of pink. A crackerjack. 
Own-root, strong, 2 to 3 ft., $2.50; 3 to 4 ft., $3.00. 
GENERAL PERSHING. Double. Tall upright growing 
bush. Good profuse bloomer, with panicles covering 
the entire plant. A very showy rich purple violet. 
Own-root, 2 to 3 ft., $2.50; 3 to 4 ft., $3.50. 
HENRI MARTIN. Double. Extremely long, graceful 
panicles. Beautiful blue-lavender—a splendid new 
Lilac. Our show plants of Henri Martin are right by 
the path as we go from the office to the trial fields 
beyond. We pass it many times a day when it is in 
bloom and we always stop and marvel at its beauty. 
Own-root, 2 to 3 ft., $2.00; 3 to 4 ft., $2.50. 
HIFFOLYTE MARInGER. Double. A large to very 
large, light pinkish lilac; with long, open trusses. The 
double florets as they open take on a fluffy effect 
which gives to the great panicles a peculiarly lovely 
appearance. We like it very much. 
Own-root, 2 to 3 ft., $2.50; 3 to 4 ft., $3.50. 
HUGO KOSTER. Single. One of the newer sorts and 
quite an improvement over older varieties of its color. 
Panicles 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. 
JAPANESE TREE LILAC 
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. 
JEAN MACE. Double. Bluish mauve. A very pretty 
lilac with neatly formed panicles which are immense 
and full. A beautiful upright growing plant. 
Own-root, strong, 2 to 3 ft., $2.00; 3 to 4 ft., $2.50. 
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, strong, 3 to 4 ft., $2.00.
