(HE business of Cedar Hill Nursery was founded in 1910 
by tbe late Theodore A. Havemeyer who successfully 
developed it into an institution which is known for its 
integrity in the horticultural world. Since his death on 
July 30. 1936, the business has been continued on the prin¬ 
ciples laid down by Mr. Havemeyer. 
The collection of lilacs at Brookville is considered one 
of the finest in America. Practically every variety devel¬ 
oped by Victor Lemoine of France, and later his son, 
Emile, has been imported and cultivated at Cedar Hill. 
Additional importations from other growers and our own 
efforts at hybridization and propagation have combined to 
bring the collection to its present outstanding status. 
Many years have also been devoted to the develop¬ 
ment of a large and distinctive collection of irises, peonies, 
some perennials and certain rock plants. In this little book¬ 
let we present a few varieties from each group, with the 
express purpose of simplifying the problem of selection. 
For those who wish to choose from the large collection 
available, a visit, if possible, or a letter is suggested.
