French Hybrid J^ilacs 
The following are the best of several forms of Syringa vulgaris , commonly 
known as French Hybrid Lilacs. Their great flower clusters are often a foot 
in length, and they are truly the “Aristocrats of the Lilacs.” 
Prices 12"—18", 31-50; T —3', 32.00; V —4', 32.50 unless otherwise speci¬ 
fied. Specimen Stock, 33.00 to 35.00. Prices on larger plants furnished on 
application. 
It is not always possible to supply all sizes of any given Lilac. Place your 
order for the size desired and if we cannot deliver this size we shall notify 
you at once. 
ADELAIDE DUNBAR (Dunbar 1917) — Double; flowers violet-red with 
dark maroon buds; perhaps, according to John Dunbar, “the darkest double 
flowering Lilac in cultivation.” 33.00 each. 
ALPHONSE LAVALLEE (Lemoine 1885) — Double; beautiful sky-blue 
shading to violet. Individual flowers very large, resembling double hya¬ 
cinths. Panicles large, long and very compact; fragrance pleasing. One of 
the finest forms of S. vulgaris. 
BLEUATRE—Single; bluish lavender; medium sized flowers and panicles; 
very fragrant. One of the bluest Lilacs. A valuable addition to any garden 
on account of its unusual color. 
CAPITAINE PERRAULT (Lemoine 1925) — Double. Lemoine describes 
it: “Grand spikes, big full flowers of superb rosy mauve, buds of the same 
color, a superb sort.” 33.00 each. 
CHARLES JOLY (Lemoine 1896) — Double; crimson-violet; very attrac¬ 
tive in bud and flower. Flowers and trusses medium, held erect, well above 
the foliage. One of our best. 
CHARLES SARGENT (Lemoine 1905) — Double; beautiful mauve-violet 
with metallic azure tints. Enormous clusters of extra large flowers. Plant 
very vigorous and exceptionally good. 
CHARLES THE TENTH—It is impossible to trace the origin of this 
Lilac, as there are a number of similar forms in cultivation all known as 
Charles the Tenth. Our plants are propagated from a Lilac of this name 
obtained from the Arnold Arboretum. The single flowers of reddish violet 
with dark red buds are borne on medium sized trusses. Good.
