LILAC VARIETIES 
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., ^1.00 
BERRYER. (Giraldi Hybrid). 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., ^2.00; 4 to 5 ft., ^2.50 
BUFFON (Giraldi Hybrid). 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 clear pink of the finest 
quality. Very effective as the large loose panicles are just opening. 
Best single pink. 3 to 4 ft., ^2.50; 4 to 5 ft., ^3.50 
CAPITAINE BALTET. Enormous trusses of single flowers of the greatest 
size. A uniform ruddy purpledilac. A comparatively new variety that 
as yet is not widely distributed, but which by Lilac connoisseurs is 
pronounced one of Lemoine’s best singles. It is one of the most pro- 
fuse bloomers of all, the bush sometimes being almost hidden by the 
great panicles. This is classed among the twelve or fifteen best of all 
Lilacs. 2 to 3 ft., ^5.00; 3 to 4 ft., ^6.00 
CHARLES JOLY. Double. Purple-red. One of the best of the double 
dark reds. Bush medium both in size and height, limbs growing very 
upright. Rather large blooms, held erect well above the foliage; very 
striking. 18 to 24 inch, ^1.00 
CHARLES SARGENT. Double. Medium 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., ^1.00; 3 to 4 ft., ^1.50 
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., $1.00; 3 to 4 ft., $1.50 
CLAUDE BERNARD (Giraldi Hybrid). One of the tallest growing of 
these new hybrid Lilacs. Very large panicles of lacy light pink flow¬ 
ers. Blooms 6 days ahead of the regular season. 
4 to 5 ft., $2.00; 5 to 6 ft., $3.00 
CONDORCET. Semi-double. This is one of the very best of tbe blue 
Lilacs. The panicles are very broad and compact. The color is a clear 
rich light blue. If one wishes as near a blue as possible he will be 
pleased with Condorcet. 
2 to 3 ft., $2.00; 3 to 4 ft., $2.50; 4 to 5 ft., $3.50 
CONGO. Immense, single, wine-red. A splendid growing variety that 
produces 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. 2 to 3 ft., $3.00; 3 to 4 ft., $4.00 
DECAISNE. Single. We think a great deal of this Lilac. It is most 
refined in every way. Nice bush with clean foliage; large panicles 
very nicely formed, and many of them. A very delicate true rich 
blue. Rated by many as the best. For real refinement in color this 
would, without doubt, be rated as the best light blue. 
2 to 3 ft., $4.00; 3 to 4 ft., $5.00 
DE MIRIBEL. Single, dark bluish violet. This is by far the darkest 
of all our Lilacs. It is always admired by those who see it in bloom 
in our nursery because it is so distinct in color from all the others. 
It is one of the choicest in the entire line. Panicles rather slender, 
long, compact, and upright. Very noticeable. This is one blue you 
should really have. You will note we often have to omit this fine 
variety from our list as the demand is greater than our supply. A late 
variety. 2 to 3 ft., $4.00; 3 to 4 ft., $5.00 
DE SAUSSURE. Double. Medium sized, compact, slender spike. Buds 
open deep wine-red with touches of white on the points of the petal, 
giving the bloom an interesting effect. As the flower develops it fades 
to a deep rose color. 2 to 3 ft., $1.50; 3 to 4 ft., $2.00 
DIDEROT. Single with tremendously large individual florets. A mid¬ 
season free-flowering variety which bears on straight spreading 
branches, sensational large pointed spires of claret-purple bloom. A 
slow grower until thoroughly established when it becomes one of the 
most outstanding of all Lilacs. This is the first time we have ever 
offered it for sale. In 2-ft. plants only, $7.50 
EDITH CAVELL. 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 Willmott, but is a different 
type of flower. Ellen Willmott is more compact and perfect in form 
while the panicle of Edith Cavell is a trifle more open and more lace¬ 
like in effect, and it is also earlier. Every fine collection should have 
both. 2 to 3 ft., $3.00; 3 to 4 ft., $4.00 
EDMOND ABOUT. Double. A bush of large, strong heavy foliage. 
Large panicles with large florets. Reverse of petals blue with intense 
rose-pink shadings opening to a very rich soft blue fading lighter. 
2 to 3 ft., $2.00 
GRACE ORTHWAITE. Single. A very fine single bright pink of our 
own origin. Plant very thrifty and covered with medium-sized trusses 
of an intense pink. Those who like a light bright pink will like this 
one very much. 2 to 3 ft., $2.00; 3 to 4 ft., $3.00 
HENRI MARTIN. Double. Extremely long, graceful panicles. Beauti¬ 
ful blue-lavender—a splendid new Lilac. 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. A Lilac of most beautiful form. 
2 to 3 ft., $4.00; 3 to 4 ft., $5.00 
HIPPOLYTE MARINGER. Double. Taken one year after another this 
is probably the largest of all Lilacs. Reverse of petals while in the 
bud are a deep violet blue opening into an immense truss of lace¬ 
like petals in a delightful blending of pink and delicate shades of blue. 
We always classify this as one of the sensations of the Lilac world. 
2 to 3 ft., $3.00; 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. It demands a rich soil and 
good care. So provided for we have seen it produce panicles of such 
beauty that we have never seen it equaled by any other single white. 
2 to 3 ft., $3.50; 3 to 4 ft., $5.00 
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 
JOSIKAEA (Hungarian Lilac). A distinct late flowering species. 
It forms a small tree if desired, otherwise grows naturally as a 
bush. Has large, shining leaves, and dark purple flowers. Late. 
2 to 3 ft., $1.50 
JULES SIMON. Double. An erect growing variety with very clean 
limbs and a heavy clean light green foliage. Expanding buds show 
much bright intense rose. Opening truss becomes a very rich clear 
velvety light blue. 2 to 3 ft., $2.00; 3 to 4 ft., $3.00; 4 to 5 ft., $5.00 
KATHERINE HAVEMEYER. Double. A splendid Lilac which we like 
more and more the longer we have it. It is always an outstanding 
variety among all our plantings. Trusses are immense, very full 
double, very rich and of a most beautiful mauve-pink. A very thrifty 
bush. One of the most persistent of bloomers. Nearly every 3- to 4- 
foot bush bloomed in the nursery row in 1938. One 4-foot plant had 
18 large trusses and 3 small ones. 
2 to 3 ft., $3.00; 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., $2.50; 4 to 5 ft., $3.50 
LEON GAMBETTA. Double. Panicles of the greatest size. Buds and re¬ 
verse 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. We still say it is the finest of all Lilacs 
and we want to emphasize this. There are many fine Lilacs, but we 
believe this is the most beautiful of all. 2 to 3 ft., $5.00 
LUCETTA. Another of the Villosa Hybrids, having much the same 
foliage and bush habits as Viola. Both of these varieties are desirable. 
They come into bloom after the French Lilacs are all gone, prolong¬ 
ing the Lilac season by at least 10 days. These Hybrids have much 
prettier bush habit than does the Villosa parent. Lucetta is a much 
deeper pink than Viola. 2 to 3 ft., $4.00 
MACROSTACHYA. Single. One of the old varieties seldom seen 
nowadays. An upright grower with clean light green foliage. Panicles 
rather slender, held upright, a very delicate pink, almost white, irreg¬ 
ularly bordered with a deeper pink. This is distinct in color from 
all others. 2 to 3 ft., $3.50 
MARECHAL LANNES. Double. One of the most sensational and 
choicest of the entire list of French Lilacs. The panicles are large 
and shapely, composed of about the largest florets found among all 
the Lilacs. Many of them are over an inch in diameter. Color of 
unopened buds is reddish violet, of the expanded florets campanula- 
violet. Mrs. Harding says of this Lilac, “A beautiful and wonderful 
Lilac.” 2 to 3 ft., $3.50; 3 to 4 ft., $5.00
