ADELAIDE DUNBAR. Semi'double. Opening 
blossoms are dark purplish red, changing 
to a bright red as they open. The clusters 
are large and compound. After this flower 
has opened it is one of the richest of all the 
bright dark reds.

ALPHONSE LAVALLEE. Blue. Double. Tall, robust 
growing; makes a very shapely bush. Panicles long, 
broad, shapely, and compact. Opens an intense blue, 
but as the florets develop it changes to a beautiful 
shade of lavender. Splendid sort. 
2 to 3 ft., ^1.50; 3 to 4 ft., ^2.00 
BELLE DE NANCY. Double, large; satiny rose, showing 
white towards the center. General color effect deep 
pink. One of the best pinks among the older varieties. 
2 to 3 ft., ^1.50; 3 to 4 ft., ^2.00 
BERRYER. Semi'double. A beautiful clear mauve with 
deeper shadings toward red. One of the very choicest 
of the early hybrids; distinctly different; also the 
latest of the new line of Lilacs. Exceedingly pretty. 
3 to 4 ft., ^2.50; 4 to 5 ft., ^3.50 
BUFFON. Single. One of the very earliest of the early 
hybrids. Individual florets large and of fine substance. 
We think Buffon very choice. Color is a rich delicate 
mauve'pink of the finest quality. Panicles very large. 
Best single pink Lilac. We wish to impress upon our 
customers that if they are looking for a pure single 
pink that Buffon is the best. 
3 to 4 ft., ^2.50; 4 to 5 ft., ^3.50 
CHARLES JOLY. Double. Purple'red. One of the very best of the double 
dark reds. Bush medium both in size and height, limbs growing upright. 
Rather large blooms, held erect well above the foliage; very striking.

CHARLES SARGENT. Double. Mediu m tall growing variety. Very shapely 
and vigorous plant. Color a beautiful light lavender. Very double flower 
with florets very full; long narrow pointed petals. 
2 to 3 ft., ^1.50; 3 to 4 ft., ^2.00 
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 
CONDORCET. Semi'double. The color is a clear, rich, light blue. Panicles 
very large, broad, compact. The plant is very thrifty and grows upright. 
Of medium height. 2 to 3 ft., ^1.50; 3 to 4 ft., ^2.00 
CONGO. I mmense, single, wine-red. A splendid growing variety that pro' 
duces 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. When this 
Lilac is in its prime it is one of the very choicest. We have now worked 
up a fair stock for our fall sales and have reduced our prices accordingly. 
2 to 3 ft., ^3.00; 3 to 4 ft., ^4.00 
DECAISNE. Single. For about ten years we have had this wonderful variety 
blooming in our grounds, and each year we think more of it. It is a true 
light blue. The panicles are large, nicely formed, and many of them. 
This is a variety that should be in every fine collection. 
2 to 3 ft., ^4.00; 3 to 4 ft., ^5.00 
DE SAUSSURE. Double. Medium sized, compact, slender spike. Buds open 
deep winc'red with touches of white in the points of the petals, giving 
the bloom an interesting effect. As the flower develops it fades to a deep 
rose color. We found this season that many people admired this variety 
on account of its unusual color effect. 2 to 3 ft., ^1.50; 3 to 4 ft., ^2.00 
EDITH CAVELL. Double. 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 Will- 
mott, but is a different type of flower. Ellen Willmott is more com¬ 
pact and perfect in form while the panicle of Edith Cavell is a 
trifle more open and more lace-like in effect. The individual florets 
are a trifle larger than those of Ellen Willmott, but every large 
collection should have both of these fine varieties. 
2 to 3 ft., ^3.50; 3 to 4 ft., ^4.00 
GEHEIMRAT SINGLEMARK. Single. A very deep blue-purple. This 
is a very dark Lilac. The long upright panicles are made up of 
many small lobes that add to the attractiveness of the flower. The 
plant is tall and upright growing. A good variety. 
2 to 3 ft., ^1.25; 3 to 4 ft., ^1.50
