MILTON. Single. One of the most floriferous of all our Lilacs. Panicles 
long, narrow, candle-like cones are held erect and cover the bush. 
The color is an even shade of light purplish red which holds well in 
the sun. A trifle late in season. 2 to 3 ft., $4.00 
MME. F. MOREL. Single. Morel gave us one great Lilac and this one 
is a masterpiece. A great single that develops into about the largest 
of all Lilacs. Immense panicles with individual florets as big as a 
quarter. A deep purple flushed mauve-pink. 
2 to 3 ft., $4.00; 3 to 4 ft., $5.00 
MONGE. Single. One of the newer varieties which seems to deserve 
the name of the best red Lilac. Plant habit good. Panicle very broad 
at base developing into a very nice cone. Color a brilliant deep rich 
red which holds unusually long in the sun. A very striking Lilac. 
2 to 3 ft., $5.00; 3 to 4 ft., $7.50 
NEGRO. Single. Another red Lilac which looks very fine to us. Panicle 
a true cone with a broad base and very attractive shape. Color an 
intense deep rich red-purple. 2 to 3 ft., $4.00 
PAUL THIRION. Double. Although this Lilac was first sent out in 
1915, it is still very scarce. Of all the Lilacs we would say that this 
one taken from a distance is the richest looking of all Lilacs. The 
trusses are large and composed of very double florets of an intense 
claret-rose. The buds are bright rich red, not purple. A red blending 
into rose. 2 to 3 ft., $5.00 
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., $3.00; 3 to 4 ft., $4.00 
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. 
A real blue. 2 to 3 ft., $5.00 
VIOLA. This Lilac was sent to us some 10 years ago from Canada. 
A hybrid between Vulgaris and Villosa. The bush resembles Villosa 
but is a trifle more open in growth with cleaner foliage. It is a real 
addition to our list of shrubs. The blooms come in long racemes held 
erect at first and then gracefully drooping as the petals open. The 
flowers are a bright pink in bud opening to a rich cream in the center 
which makes a very striking and beautiful contrast with the deep pink 
on the reverse. 2 to 3 ft., $4.00 
VOICIE. Single. A very free-flowering variety of recent introduction 
that is very attractive because of the immense amount of bloom and 
the peculiar petal formation after the flowers become full open. Sort 
of a red-purple with a strong suffusion of pink. The panicles take 
on a peculiar and attractive appearance because of the reflexing and 
twisting of the petals. 2 to 3 ft., $3.50 
This is an illustration of our Persian Hedge growing in its natural form on 
our nursery grounds. You will note that the hedge is literally covered with 
bloom from the ground up and it is truly a wonderful sight to see. People 
drive here for miles around just to see this hedge when it is in bloom the latter 
part of May. 
PERSIAN LILACS 
In Minnesota and similar states where windbreaks are a neces¬ 
sity, the Persian Lilac is a perfect flowering shrub to use for this 
purpose. 
The plants are absolutely hardy and we believe that such a 
hedge would outlive the person who planted it. 
Directions for planting: For a tight hedge plant 2 feet apart. 
If you wish merely a tall screen put your plants in from 4 to 6 
feet apart. 
GOOD FOR ALL SECTIONS OF THE COUNTRY 
We have plants in 
two shades of pink, a light pink and a 
deeper 
shade.
