BRAND'S OWN-ROOT LILACS 
Thunberg 
WAIDECK ROUSSEAU. Double. A very large, rather open 
graceful panicle, composed of large very double florets on 
many branches. This fine flower is a deep pinkish violet 
with a white center to every floret. 
Own-root, 2 to 3 ft., $2.50; 3 to 4 ft., $3.50. 
WILLIAM ROBINSON. Double. Invariably well liked; always 
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 lav¬ 
ender as the florets fully open and their reverse side turns 
back. Very much admired. 
Own-root, strong, 2 to 3 ft., $1.25; 3 to 4 ft., $1.50. 
Lilac Rothomagensis 
This is the richest colored and most beautiful of all 
the Persian Hybrid Lilacs. The color is a beautiful uni¬ 
form deep rich rose. The bush itself is very graceful 
and during blooming season is absolutely covered with 
its great rose blooms. 
It is the finest of all Lilacs for using as an untrimmed 
hedge. 
We have a great hedge of Rothomagensis 20 rods long 
that people drive to the nursery from all over the state 
to see during blooming season. 
The finest of all shrubs for an untrimmed hedge.

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. 
STADTGARDNER ROTHPLETZ. Double. An upright grow¬ 
ing shrub with long, cone-shaped panicles. A rich red- 
purple Where a rich red in a double Lilac is desired one 
cannot be mistaken in planting this variety. Makes an 
unusually nice bush and the shades of red are very rich. 
Own-root, 2 to 3 ft., $2.00; 3 to 4 ft., $2.50. 
THUNBERG. Double. Very large, long, slender spikes, 
generally two to the panicle. Buds and reverse of florets 
a violet-mauve with a reddish appearance from a dis¬ 
tance 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. It is also one of 
the very latest if not the » -r 
Genuine Brand Lilacs 
latest French Lilac. 
Own-root, strong, 2 to 3 
ft., $2.50; 3 to 4 ft., $3.50. 
VICTOR LEMOINE. Double. 
This is about the most 
wonderful of all the French 
Lilacs. It is no wonder 
that Victor Lemoine, the 
originator, gave to it his 
own name. It is a great 
thrifty spreading bush 
covered with tremendous 
panicles of very double 
blue-lavender flowers. Be¬ 
fore the buds open they 
are blue-lavender washed 
intense pink. Own-root, 2 
to 3 ft., $3.50; 3 to 4 ft., 
$5.00. 
Naturally, the law of average can¬ 
not possibly regulate the demand 
for all lilacs so evenly as to prevent 
a surplus of some and a shortage 
of others. It is nothing unusual to 
find that the varieties in which we 
have a surplus include the very 
best of the good standard kinds. To 
keep our stocks arranged in bal¬ 
anced quantities, we are willing to 
send these out at a special low price 
which provides for this Final Col¬
