JACQUES CALOT. Single. Here is one of the most pleasing and satis¬ 
factory of the all-pink Lilacs. Always a very heavy bloomer, the bush 
literally covered with fair sized, nicely shaped panicles composed of 
florets of great size. A different shade of pink from Grace Orthwaite. 
2 to 3 ft., #2.00; 3 to 4 ft., #2.50 
JEAN MACE. Double. Bluish mauve. Very pretty Lilac. A tremendous 
bloomer. Immense full panicles. It just seems as though there couldn t 
be another floret crowded in. Very thrifty bush that grows erect and 
shapely, and is very ornamental even after the blooms are gone. 
2 to 3 ft., #2.00; 3 to 4 ft., #3.00 
KATHERINE HAVEMEYER. Double. A splendid new Lilac which we 
like more and more the longer we have it. In 1935 it was one of the 
most outstanding Lilacs of all. Trusses are immense, very full double, 
very rich and of a most beautiful mauve-pink. A very thrifty bush. 
2 to 3 ft., #3.50; 3 to 4 ft., #4.00 
LAMARTINE. Single. Earliest of all to bloom. Tall bush, bearing 
large, open panicles of a delicate mauve-pink, Single florets very 
large. 2 to 3 ft., #1.50; 3 to 4 ft., #2.00 
LEON GAMBETTA. Double. Panicles of the greatest size. Buds and 
reverse of petals very pink, which gives the flower a general pink 
effect. Deep pink buds open into very double little roselike florets of 
the daintiest pink and lavender. We still say it is the finest of all Lilacs 
and we want to emphasize this. There are many fine Lilacs but we 
believe this is the most beautiful of all. 
18 to 24 in., #3.00; 2 to 3 ft., #4.00; 3 to 4 ft., #5.00 
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. 18 to 24 in., #3.00; 2 to 3 ft., #4.00; 3 to 4 ft., #5.00 
MISS FLORENT STEPMAN. Single. Tall, upright grower, light, clean 
foliage; long, large, extremely rich panicles. Pure white with large, 
beautiful florets. This year this new Lilac showed up what it could 
really do. It is exceedingly fine. The panicles are so large, of such 
beautiful form, and so rich in color, we like it very much. 
2 to 3 ft., #2.00; 3 to 4 ft., #3.50 
MME. ABEL CHATENAY. Double. Beautiful, great, round, globe- 
shaped buds like Lily-of-the-Valley, which open very slowly into a 
very large bloom of pure white. A sort very much admired. 
2 to 3 ft., #1.50; 3 to 4 ft., #2.00 
MME. ANTOINE BUCHNER. Double. Tall, upright growing bush. 
Dark colored foliage with dark purplish bark on the new growth. 
Panicles long, narrow and held upright. Color a rich deep violet- 
purple showing much deep blue. Rich and fine. 
2 to 3 ft., #3.00; 3 to 4 ft., #4.00 
MME. CASIMIR PERIER. Double. Creamy white. This is a very thrifty 
growing variety. It produces a profusion of large panicles of very 
double, creamy white flowers. The bush is of medium height, com¬ 
pact, with bright, light green foliage. This is a splendid variety, but 
we have worked up a large stock, so we are making a special price. 
Everyone should plant one of these beautiful Lilacs. 
2 to 3 ft., #2.00; 3 to 4 ft., #2.50 
MME. LEMQINE. Double. One of the best of the double whites; a 
pure snow-white without tinge of cream. Foliage dark green. Panicles 
large, long, erect; large individual florets. 
2 to 3 ft., #1.25; 3 to 4 ft., #1.50 
MME. LEON SIMON. Double. Strong foliaged and strong, upright 
growing plant. Panicles long, beautifully formed and held well up. 
Buds swell very large before they open and are a deep reddish pink 
on the reverse side. Florets open like little Roses of a deep bluish 
lavender. 2 to 3 ft., #1.50; 3 to 4 ft., #2.00 
MRS. EDWARD HARDING. Double. Large blooms filled with large 
oddly curved florets of a claret color intermixed with pink. This Lilac 
does not impress one until the bush acquires some age when it be¬ 
comes a superb variety. Its color is so different and pleasing as to 
make it very desirable. 3 to 4 ft., #3.50; 4 to 5 ft., #5.00 
OLIVIER DE SERRES. Double. Tall bush, good grower. Large to very 
large open panicles. Large florets with large individual petals. A clear, 
clean, pleasing lavender and many years so deep as to be a clear uni¬ 
form light blue. One of the extra choice Lilacs. In a class with Leon 
Gambetta. 2 to 3 ft., #3.00; 3 to 4 ft., #4.00; 4 to 5 ft., #5.00 
PRESIDENT GREVY. Double. Light blue. Immense panicles; very 
double and symmetrical.' A clear, soft, delicate blue—President Grevy 
is one of the older sorts and still one of the most desirable. 
2 to 3 ft., #1.50; 3 to 4 ft., #2.00 
PRESIDENT LOUBET. Double. Red. One of the very choicest. Me¬ 
dium height plant. Panicles appear rather small just as the florets 
begin to open but they slowly develop as the florets continue to open 
until they become immense. A bright red in the bud stage, but show¬ 
ing considerable white on the inner edge of the opened petal. One 
of the very best. 2 to 3 ft., #3.00; 3 to 4 ft., #4.00 
PRESIDENT POINCAIRE. Double. Very thrifty plant; grows into a 
large, heavy-limbed bush. Panicles large to very large, globular, made 
up of many lobes. Petals very large, purplish red on outside, turning 
to lavender-blue as they open. An immense and impressive bloom. 
2 to 3 ft., #3.00; 3 to 4 ft., #4.00 
PRESIDENT VIGER. Double. A tall, upright, shapely growing Lilac 
with long, rather narrow cone-shaped panicles held erect on the bush. 
Color purple tipped deep pink in the bud fading to a soft mauve. 
2 to 3 ft., #2.00; 3 to 4 ft., #2.50 
RENE JARRY-DESLOGES. Double. Shrub grows to medium height and 
is covered with medium sized blooms of a rich Lobelia-blue touched 
with mauve. This is one of the fine deep blue Lilacs where the color 
is very rich. 2 to 3 ft., #3.00; 3 to 4 ft., #4.00 
REAUMUR. Single. A remarkable Lilac, a flower the beauty of which 
grows upon you. The flowers appear of the greatest size as the truss 
is made up of several smaller ones all worked together so as to appear 
as one great bloom. Color a subdued rose-red. It keeps its color a 
long time and is a superb Lilac. Very choice. 
18 to 24 in., #3.00; 2 to 3 ft., #4.00; 3 to 4 ft., #5.00 
RUHN VON HORSTENSTEIN. Single. A Lilac that produces blooms 
of the greatest size even on small bushes set out but two years. It is 
an even toned light red-purple. 2 to 3 ft., #2.00; 3 to 4 ft., #2.50 
SENATOR VOLLAND. Double. Very floriferous. A very pretty Lilac 
with a large bloom that is somewhat open. When in the bud the 
reverse of the petals shows a very distinct bright touch of pink which 
continues to show as the florets open and gives a very dainty effect to 
the bloom. Center of florets pinkish light lilac. Very dainty in its 
beauty. 2 to 3 ft., #1.50; 3 to 4 ft., #2.00 
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. 2 to 3 ft., #1.50; 3 to 4 ft., #2.00 
STATZGARTNER ROTHPLEZ. Double. An upright growing shrub 
with long, cone-shaped panicles. A rich red-purple. Until recently 
Charles Joly has been our only good double red. We have in Statz- 
gartner Rothplez another fine red, giving bloom later than Charles 
Joly. 2 to 3 ft., #2.50; 3 to 4 ft., #3.00 
THUNBERG. Double. Very large, long, slender spikes, generally two 
to the panicle. Buds and reverse of florets a violet-mauve with a red¬ 
dish appearance from a distance. 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, making a very 
striking Lilac. 2 to 3 ft., #2.00; 3 to 4 ft., #3.00 
VESTALE. Single. One of the best of the single whites. An upright 
growing bush with long, narrow, conical panicles which stand upright. 
This was our best single white for the season of 1936. 
2 to 3 ft., #3.00 
VILLOSA. Another excellent Lilac for large and small plantings. 
Grows into a large shrub, 10 feet high, with large, heavy, waxy 
leaves. Comes into bloom when all other Lilacs are gone. 
Panicles large, broad, plumelike, a delicate pink color. 
2 to 3 ft., #1.00; 3 to 4 ft., #1.50 
VICTOR LEMOINE. We have finally come to the conclusion that the 
Lilac which for several years we have been offering under the name 
of Marceau is Victor Lemoine. This is about the most wonderful of 
all the French Lilacs and it is no wonder that Victor Lemoine, the 
originator, gave to it his own name. We class this as one of the five 
finest Lilacs. Florets are very double like little full Roses, these are 
gathered into panicles of tremendous size, added to which is a most 
beautiful bluish lavender self color and one has one of the most beau¬ 
tiful of all Lilacs. 2 to 3 ft., #3.50; 3 to 4 ft., #5.00 
VOLCAN. One of the most robust and shapely growing of all of the 
best Lilacs. As near a true deep red as we have. Panicles which are 
very long, large, and shapely, come up well above the foliage. These 
panicles look rather open as they are in the bud stage but as they 
develop they open into one of the finest, most shapely, and largest 
of all these Lilacs; one of the latest of all. 
2 to 3 ft., #2.50; 3 to 4 ft., #3.50 
WALDECK-ROUSSEAU. Double. A very large, rather open panicle, 
composed of large, very double florets on many branches. Large 
flower and very fine. Deep violet fading lighter. 
2 to 3 ft., #3.00; 3 to 4 ft., #4.00 
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 lavender as the florets fully open and 
their reverse side turns back. Very much admired. 
2 to 3 ft., #2.50; 3 to 4 ft., #3.00
