FARIBAULT. MINN. 
FRENCH LILACS—Continued 
JACQUES CALOT. Single. H ere 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., $1.50; 3 to 4 ft., $2.00. 
JAN VAN TOL. Single. An extremely fine new single white. Panicles 
of most beautiful form composed of the largest single florets to be 
found in a single white; very sweet scented. 2 to 3 ft., $3.00. 
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., $3.50; extra select, 4 to 5 ft., $5.00. 
JULES SIMON. Double. Immense flower with very large florets. Deep 
purplish blue to lavender. Here is another Lilac that will just surprise 
you when you see the great panicles begin to open. An extra large 
Lilac. 2 to 3 ft., $2.00; 3 to 4 ft., $3.00; extra select, 4 to 5 ft., $5.00. 
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., $2.00; 3 to 4 ft., $3.00; select 4 to 5 ft., $5.00. 
LAMARTINE. S ingle. Earliest of all to bloom. Tall bush, bearing 
large, open panicles of a delicate mauve-pink. Single florets very 
large. 3 to 4 ft., $1.50; 4 to 5 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. 2 to 3 ft., $5.00. 
MIRABEAU. S ingle. An early, free-blooming, deep hellebore-red ex¬ 
panding to lobelia-violet. A very pleasing shade, distinct from the rest 
of the deep red-purples. Has an exceedingly nice straight growing 
bush which is very nice to look at. 3 to 4 ft., $2.00; 4 to 5 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. 2 to 3 ft., $3.50; 3 to 4 ft., $5.00; select, 4 to 5 ft., $6.00. 
MISS FLORENT STEPMAN. Single. Tall, upright grower, light, clean 
foliage; long, large, rather 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; 4 to 5 ft., select, $5.00. 
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.

MME. LEMOINE. Double. One of the best of the double whites; panicles large, long, 
erect; large individual florets. 2 to 3 ft., #1.00; 3 to 4 ft., #1.25. 
MME. LEON SIMON. Double. Strong foliage 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., #2.00; 3 to 4 ft., #3.00. 
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 becomes a superb variety. Its color is so dif¬ 
ferent and pleasing as to make it very desirable. 2 to 3 ft., #2.00; 3 to 4 ft., #3.00. 
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 uniform light blue. One of the extra choice 
Lilacs. In a class with Leon Gambetta. 
2 to 3 ft., #2.50; 3 to 4 ft., #3.50; extra select, 4 to 5 ft., #5.00. 
PASCAL. Single. Early. Very large, tall, thrifty bush which is a sight to behold 
when covered with its great open, lacy, plumelike panicles which are a delicate 
pinkish lavender. 3 to 4 ft., #2.00; 4 to 5 ft., #3.00; 5 to 6 ft., #5.00. 
PRESIDENT CARNOT. Lavender. Double. One of the most profuse bloomers.

2 to 3 ft., #1.00; 3 to 4 ft., #1.50. 
PRESIDENT GREVY. Double. Light blue. Immense panicles; very double and sym¬ 
metrical. A clear, soft, delicate blue—President Grevy is one of the older sorts and 
still one of the most desirable. 2 to 3 ft., #1.00; 3 to 4 ft., #1.50. 
PRESIDENT FALLIERES. A lavender-rose marked with white. Panicles large, loose 
and showy. Very large. This Lilac is classed by many as one of the very choicest 
of all Lilacs. It carries those delicate orchid shades so many love. Somewhat similar 
to Leon Gambetta but with smaller florets. 2 to 3 ft., #2.50; 3 to 4 ft., #3.50. 
PRESIDENT LINCOLN. A new single blue Lilac that is now showing up very fine. 
It is an American Lilac by Dunbar and is a rich clear blue. This is the blue Lilac 
which stood out so conspicuously in the great Lilac collection of Col. Plum as a real 
advance in blue Lilacs. 12 to 18 in., #3.00. 
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., $2.50; 3 to 4 ft., $3.50. 
PRESIDENT POINCAIRE. Double. Very thrifty plant; grows into a 
large, heavy-limbed bush. Panicles large to very large, globular, made

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., $1.50; 3 to 4 ft., $2.00; 
4 to 5 ft., $3.50; extra select, 4 to 5 ft., $5.00. 
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., $2.50; 3 to 4 ft., $3.50. 
REAUMUR. S ingle. 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. 
2 to 3 ft., $3.50; 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., $3.00. 
ROTHOMAGENSIS. The deep rose-colored Persian Lilac. This is the 
best of all the Persian Lilacs. Blooms very profuse in nice medium¬ 
sized flowers in a deep rich rose. The Persian Lilacs are nicely adapted 
to grow up close to a building and this variety is especially effective 
against a white background. 2 to 3 ft., $1.00; 3 to 4 ft., $1.25. 
SENATEUR 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., $1.00; 3 to 4 ft., $1.50. 
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., $1.00; 3 to 4 ft., $1.50. 
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., $2.00; 3 to 4 ft., $3.00; specimen, 4 to 5 ft., $5.00. 
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 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 this season. 2 to 3 ft., #1.00; 3 to 4 ft., #1.50; select, 4 to 5 ft., #5.00. 
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. Strong, 2 to 3 ft., #1.00; 3 to 4 ft., #1.25. 
Select, 4 to 5 ft. specimen plants, #2.00. 
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. 2 to 3 ft., #3.50; 3 to 4 ft., #5.00. 
VIOLETTA. Double. One of the very darkest Lilacs. Deep bluish violet—a very 
unusual color. Large open panicle with very large individual florets. New. Very 
scarce. We have only 10 of these to sell. 2 to 3 ft., #3.00; 3 to 4 ft., #5.00. 
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., #2.50; 3 to 4 ft., #3.50; select, 4 to 5 ft., #5.00. 
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., #1.00; 3 to 4 ft., #1.50.
