FARIBAULT, MINN. 
BRAND PEONY 
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 pro- 
fuse 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 
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. Late. 2 to 3 ft., $2.00; 3 to 4 ft., $3.00 
VESTALE. Single. One of the best and most graceful of all the single 
whites. Trusses very large at base tapering gracefully to a point 
making a true cone. Pure rich white. Will satisfy the most exacting. 
2 to 3 ft., $2.00; 3 to 4 ft., $3.50; 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., $1.50 
VICTOR LEMOINE. Double. This is about the most wonderful of all 
the French Lilacs. It is no wonder that Victor Lemoine, the origina¬ 
tor, gave to it his own name. We class it as one of the three or four 
very best if not the best. Florets are very double like little double 
Roses. These are gathered into panicles of the largest size, and the 
color effect is simply indescribable. The general effect is a soft rosy 
pink overlaid with a delicate blue-lavender. This is also one of the 
very latest to bloom. It is a self color. It is the great Lilac. 
2 to 3 ft., $3.50; 3 to 4 ft., $5.00 
VIOLETTA. Semi-double. A very dark Lilac of true violet-red. The 
individual florets look exactly like a Violet and are unusually large. 
This season a group viewing this variety were interested in finding 
out just how large these florets were. We found that there were florets 
that a half dollar just covered. One of the choicest of all Lilacs. 
2 to 3 ft., $5.00 
VOLCAN. Single. 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 
attractive of all the red Lilacs. It is the latest of all the red-purples. 
2 to 3 ft., $1.50; 3 to 4 ft., $2.00 
Buffon 
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., $1.50; 3 to 4 ft., $2.00

FINEST OF THE PHILADELPHUS

ViSUfincd 
Semi-double. White. Everbloom- 
ing. Everything considered this is 
the most sensational of all the Phila- 
delphus. In fact, we regard it the 
most valuable acquisition to the flow¬ 
er garden of recent years. The bush 
is a moderately strong grower, with 
us attaining a height of 6 to 7 feet. 
Rather open, sparse foliage to make 
the wonderful blooms all the more 
conspicuous. Flowers pure white, 
semi-double, often 2 inches in diam¬ 
eter. Begins to bloom about June 
1 5th with us, and blooms profusely 
for about 3 weeks. Then it rests a 
few weeks and starts to bloom again, 
continuing with a small amount of 
bloom until frost. 
2 to 3 /2 ft., 75c; 2 for $1.40; 10 
for $6.00. 
3 to 4 ft., $1.00; 2 for $1.80; 10 
for $8.00.
