Oliver de Serries 
Mme. Casimir Perier 
JULES FERRY. Double. Long, very large clusters of 
silvery mauve florets and rose-red buds. One seldom 
sees this lilac but it is one of the finest of all lilacs 
on the pink order. Something exceedingly fine. 
Own-root, strong, 3 to 4 ft., $5.00. 
KATHERINE HAVEMEYER, Double. A splendid new 
Lilac which is proving one of the very choicest of all. 
During the 1935 blooming season it was among the 
sensations. Panicles tremendously large and full with 
immense double florets. A rich pinkish mauve. Dis¬ 
tant color effect pink. 
Own-root, strong, 2 to 3 ft., $2.50; 3 to 4 ft., $3.50. 
MAURICE DE VILMORIN. Double. One of the lower 
growing lilacs. With large compact flower clusters 
well above the foliage and literally covering the plant. 
The general color effect is a light azure-blue. Florets 
blue with a shading of the palest pink. A good one 
Own-root, strong, 3 to 4 ft., $1.50. 
MARIE LEGRAVE. Single. Pure, creamy white. To us, 
this good single French Lilac is a special sensation. 
Panicles very large and rather openly built. The in¬ 
dividual 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., $1.00. 
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 pro¬ 
fusely as to almost hide the bush. 
Own-root, 2 to 3 ft., $2.50; 3 to 4 ft., $ 3 . 5 '\ 
MIRABEAU. Single. A very early variety of a mauve 
color opening to a bluish mauve. One of the good early 
lilacs. 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. 
MME. CASIMIR-PERIER. Double. Creamy white. This 
is a very thrifty-growing variety. It produces a pro¬ 
fusion 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 mak¬ 
ing a special price. Everyone should plant one of these 
beautiful Lilacs. Own-root, strong, 2 to 3 ft., $1.25; 
heavy specimen, 3 to 4 ft., $2.00. 
MME. FLORENT STEPMAN. Single. Tall, upright 
grower; light, clean foliage; long, medium, compact 
panicles, profuse bloomer. Rich creamy white with 
large, beautiful florets. 
Own-root, strong, 2 to 3 ft., $1.25; 3 to 4 ft., $1.50. 
MME. LEMOINE. Double. One of the best of the double 
whites; a pure snow-white without tinge of cream 
after the buds have opened. Foliage dark green. Pan¬ 
icles large, long, erect; large individual florets. One 
of the best of the whites. 
Own-root, strong, 2 to 3 ft., $1.25; 3 to 4 ft., $1.50. 
If one wishes a hedge of white Lilac Mme. Lemoine 
is a fine kind to use as it makes a wonderful hedge.

10 plants in the 3 to 4 ft. size, $12.00. 
MONT BLANC. Single white. This beautiful Lilac is 
one of the very best of the single whites. The plant

ful form. The florets are immense in size. Color a 
creamy white.

on Own-Root Lilacs 
In placing your order for Lilacs, you will natural' 
ly compare prices. 
Do not confuse the prices of Lilacs grafted or 
budded on California Privet with the price of own- 
root Lilacs. 
It is the Own-Root on a French Lilac that makes 
it cost more. 
Our French Lilacs are on their own root.
