PAR IB AULT. MIN 
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 lace¬ 
like 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 
GENERAL PERSHING. Double. An intense rich purple-violet, with very 
long panicles held erect and showing well without the foliage. An ex¬ 
tremely showy Lilac and one of the best of the recent introductions 
from Lemoine. 2 to 3 ft., $2.50; 3 to 4 ft., $3.00 
GEORGES BELLAIR. Double. Large, compact, well-formed truss. A 
beautiful shade of creamy white with distinct markings of vivid bright 
pink which makes a most beautiful effect. Very distinct and outstand¬ 
ing. This is not the true Georges Bellair, which is a purple, but is the 
name under which we first bought it. 
2 to 3 ft., $2.00; 3 to 4 ft., $3.00 
GRACE ORTHWAITE. Single. A very fine single bright pink of our 
own origin. Plant very thrifty and covered with medium-sized trusses 
of an intense pink. A real pink. 2 to 3 ft., $2.00; 3 to 4 ft., $2.50 
GEHEIMRAT SINGLEMARK. Single. A very deep metallic blue. A 
distinct color in Lilacs. If you are looking for an unusual color in 
Lilacs here is one. 2 to 3 ft., $1.25; 3 to 4 ft., $1.50 
HENRI MARTIN. Double. Extremely long, graceful panicles. Beauti¬ 
ful 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. A Lilac of most beautiful form. 
2 to 3 ft., $2.50; 3 to 4 ft., $3.50 
HIPPOLYTE MARINGER. Double. A large to very large, light pinkish 
lavender Lilac; with immense dome-shaped trusses. The double florets 
as they open take on a fluffy effect which gives to the great panicles 
a peculiarly lovely appearance. This is generally the largest of all the 
Lilacs. 2 to 3 ft., $2.50; 3 to 4 ft., $3.50 
HUGO KOSTER. Single. One of the newer sorts and quite an improve¬ 
ment 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. 
2 to 3 ft., $1.50; 3 to 4 ft., $2.00

ALPHONSE LAVALLEE. Blue. Double. Tall, robust grow¬ 
ing; makes a very shapely bush. Panicles long, broad,

of Lilacs. Exceedingly pretty.

double flower with florets very full; long narrow pointed petals. 
2 to 3 ft., $1.50; 3 to 4 ft., $2.50 
CHARLES X. Single. One of the older varieties that is still in great 
demand because of its profuse blooming qualities and also because it 
is one of the very best varieties of all for cut flowers. A bluish violet- 
red. 2 to 3 ft., $1.25; 3 to 4 ft., $1.50 
CLAUDE BERNARD (Giraldi Hybrid). One of the tallest growing of

pleased with Condorcet. 2 to 3 ft., $2.00; 3 to 4 ft., $2.50 
CONGO. Immense, single, wine-red. A splendid growing variety that 
produces immense blooms in the greatest profusion. The blossoms 
when they first open and for several days are sensational because of 
their great size and rich color. Then the color changes to a dull 
purple. 2 to 3 ft., $4.00; 3 to 4 ft., $5.00 
DECAISNE. Single. We think a great deal of this Lilac. It is most re¬ 
fined in every way. Nice bush with clean foliage; large panicles very

open deep wine-red with touches of white on the points of the petals,

to a deep rose color. 2 to 3 ft., $1.50; 3 to 4 ft., $2.00 
DESCARTES. Single. A very pretty early bloomer in the Giraldi group. 
Most desirable where a not too tall growing Lilac of this type is de¬ 
sired. A fine pinkish lavender. 2 to 3 ft., $1.50; 3 to 4 ft., $2.50
