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. This is one of our very very choicest 
Lilacs and we cannot propagate in sufficient quantity to always list it. 
This fall our stock is very limited as we do not have over 25 plants 
to offer. 2 to 3 ft., strong, ^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., ^3.00; 3 to 4 ft., ^4.00; 4 to 5 ft., $5.00 
MME. ABEL CHATENAY. Double. Beautiful, great, round, globe- 
shaped buds like Lily-of-the-Valley, which open very slowly into 
very large blooms of pure white. A sort very much admired. 
2 to 3 ft,, $1.50; 3 to 4 ft., $2.00 
GEORGES BELLAIR. We purchased direct 
from France some ten years ago a variety 
labeled Georges Bellair. We soon discov¬ 
ered this variety was not true to name, but 
we propagated and sent it out to our cus¬ 
tomers as Georges Bellair, but stated in our 
catalog that it was not the true variety. However, we always 
considered this variety as one of our favorite double pinks. This 
season we spent much time in checking on the trueness of 
two or three varieties that are listed in different catalogs under 
various names. In so doing we discovered that the variety we 
have been listing as Georges Bellair is Mme. Antoine Buchner, 
and we will drop the name Georges Bellair. 
Note: Anyone who has ordered a Mme. Antoine Buchner 
from us in the past did not receive the true variety, and if they 
are not satisfied with the variety we sent them, we shall be very 
glad indeed to send them a true one this fall. 
HENRI MARTIN. Double. Extremely long, graceful panicles. 
During the blooming season these panicles averaged 12 inches 
in length and some went over 13 inches. The color is a beautiful 
blue-lavender with distinct touches of pink. 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. We are sure that all 
good judges of Lilacs would include it among the best twenty. 
2 to 3 ft., $3.00; 3 to 4 ft., $4.00; 4 to 5 ft., $5.00 
HIPPOLYTE MARINGER. Double. A pinkish lavender-lilac of tremen¬ 
dous size. In fact, this is the largest of all Lilacs. In cool cloudy 
weather this variety takes on deep tones of violet. 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; 4 to 5 ft., $5.00 
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. The longer we grow this 
Lilac the more we like it. It must become thoroughly established be¬ 
fore it begins to show its true qualities. 
2 to 3 ft., $2.50; 3 to 4 ft., $3.50 
Charles Joly {Double) 
Purple-red. One of the Very Best 
of the Double Dark Reds 
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., $2.50; 4 to 5 ft., $3.50 
KATHERINE HAVEMEYER. Double. This Lilac has now bloomed for 
us for over 15 years and every year since it started to bloom we have 
been more and more impressed with it. It is one of our most depend¬ 
able varieties. The panicles are very large, very double, and very 
profuse on the bush. Our 3- to 4-ft. bushes in the field all had from 
3 to 6 big panicles on them right in the nursery row this season and 
one 4-ft. bush had 17 large and 2 smaller blooms. It goes into almost 
every order we sell during the blooming season. The coloring is very 
rich, a blending of pink, deep rose, and red-purple. The bush is very 
thrifty. 2 to 3 ft., $3.50; 3 to 4 ft., $4.00; 4 to 5 ft., $5.00 
LAMARTINE. Single. Earliest of all to bloom. Tall bush, bearing 
large, open panicles of delicate mauve-pink. Single florets very large. 
2 to 3 ft., $1.50; 3 to 4 ft., $2.00; 4 to 5 ft., $3.50 
MME. ANTOINE BUCHNER. Semi-double. Of all of the truly pink 
varieties we grow we classify this as the best. This variety we pur¬ 
chased originally under the name of Georges Bellair and have listed 
it as such until this year when we discovered its true name. We have 
always regarded it as one of our very best Lilacs. It is a late tall- 
growing variety with long shapely open trusses. When seen in the 
bud it is a decided deep pink, but as the florets open they are white 
heavily overlaid with intense rosy pink. 
2 to 3 ft., $2.00; 3 to 4 ft., $3.00; 4 to 5 ft., $5.00 
MME. LEMOINE. Double. One of the best of the old-time double 
whites. The panicles are large, long, erect, with large pure white 
individual florets. 2 to 3 ft., $1.25 
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., $2.50; 4 to 5 ft., $3.50
