BRAND PEONY FARMS, Inc. 
MME. LEMOINE. Double. One of the best of the double whites; a 
pure snow-white without tinge of cream. Foliage dark green. Panicles 
large, long, erect; large individual florets. 2 to 3 ft., #1.00 
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., #2.00 
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 
MONT BLANC. Single white. This beautiful Lilac is one of the very 
best of the single whites. The plant is compact and shapely in growth, 
with clean foliage. The panicles are large, rather compact and of 
beautiful form. The florets are immense in size. Color a creamy 
white. 2 to 3 ft., #1.50; 3 to 4 ft., #2.00 
OLIVIER DE SERRES. Double. A clear, clean, uniform light blue. The 
bush is tall and a good grower. The large double florets are packed 
closely on the stem. Panicles are very large and the general effect of 
the plant when in full bloom is simply amazing. Like all of these 
Lilacs one does not see this variety at its very best until the plant is 
from 8 to 10 years of age. We class it as a Lilac of the very highest 
quality. 2 to 3 ft., #3.50; 3 to 4 ft., #5.00 
PAUL DESCHANEL. D. Another of the new Lilacs that we like very 
much. Long, cone-shaped blooms tapering from a broad base up to 
a sharp point. Color a mixture of violet through lavender to pink. A 
Lilac somewhat like Henri Martin and still entirely different. 
2 to 3 ft., #5.00 
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., #4.00; 3 to 4 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 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 
PRESIDENT GREVY. Double. Light blue. Immense panicles; very 
double and symmetrical. A clear, soft, delicate blue—President Grevy 
is one of the older sorts and still one of the most desirable. 
2 to 3 ft., #1.00; 3 to 4 ft., #1.50 
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., #3.50; 3 to 4 ft., #5.00 
PRESIDENT LOUBET. Double. Red. One of the very choicest. Me¬ 
dium height plant. Panicles appear rather small just as the florets 
begin to open but they slowly develop as the florets continue to open 
until they become immense. A bright red in the bud stage, but show¬ 
ing considerable white on the inner edge of the opened petal. 
2 to 3 ft., #3.00; 3 to 4 ft., #4.00 
PRESIDENT POINCARE. Double. Very thrifty plant; grows into a 
large, heavy-limbed bush. Panicles large to very large, globular, made 
up of many lobes. Petals very large, purplish red on outside, turning 
to lavender-blue as they open. An immense and impressive bloom. 
2 to 3 ft., #2.00; 3 to 4 ft., #2.50 
PRESIDENT VIGER. D. A tall, upright, shapely growing Lilac with 
long, rather narrow, cone-shaped panicles held erect on the bush. 
Color purple tipped deep pink in the bud, fading to a soft mauve. 
2 to 3 ft., #1.00; 3 to 4 ft., #1.50 
REAUMUR. S. A remarkable Lilac, a flower the beauty of which grows 
upon you. The flowers appear of the greatest size as the truss is made 
up of several smaller ones all worked together so as to appear as one 
great bloom. Color a subdued rose-red. It keeps its color a long time 
and is a superb Lilac. This is one of the greatest of the Lilacs. 
2 to 3 ft., #3.50; 3 to 4 ft., #5.00 
RENE JARRY-DESLOGES. D. Shrub grows to a medium height and is 
covered with medium sized blooms of a rich lobelia-blue touched with 
mauve. This is one of the fine deep blue Lilacs where the color is very 
rich. 2 to 3 ft., #3.00; 3 to 4 ft., #4.00 
ROCHAMBEAU. A great Lilac that came out the same year with that 
superb Capitaine Baltet. A fine strong, very shapely, upright bush 
that is an ornamental in itself. Covered with superb, great, rich 
purple-red flowers. A Lilac listed by John Wister in his indispensable 
list. 2 to 3 ft., #2.50; 3 to 4 ft., #3.00 
RUHM VON HORSTENSTEIN. Single. A Lilac that produces blooms 
of the greatest size even on small bushes set out but two years. It is 
an even toned light red-purple. One of those self colors everyone 
likes. People marvel at the immense blooms of this variety on bushes 
not more than 4 feet high. A Lilac from Germany. 
2 to 3 ft., #2.00; 3 to 4 ft., #2.50 
SENATOR VOLLAND. D. Very floriferous. A very pretty Lilac with 
a large bloom that is somewhat open. When in the bud the reverse 
of the petals shows a very distinct bright touch of pink which con¬ 
tinues to show as the florets open and gives a very dainty effect to the 
bloom. Center of florets pinkish light lilac. Very dainty in its beauty. 
2 to 3 ft., #1.00; 3 to 4 ft., #1.50 
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 
STADTGARTNER ROTHPLETZ. 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 Stadt- 
gartner Rothpletz 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 
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., #2.50 
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 
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. 2 to 3 ft., #1.00; 3 to 4 ft., #1.50 
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., #4.00; 3 to 4 ft., #5.00 
VOICIE. S. 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 twist¬ 
ing of the petals. ... 2 to 3 ft., #3.50 
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 
WALDECK-ROUSSEAU. D. A very large, rather open panicle, com¬ 
posed of large, very double florets on many branches. Large flower 
and very fine. Deep violet fading lighter. 
2 to 3 ft., #1.50; 3 to 4 ft., #2.00 
WILLIAM ROBINSON. D. Invariably well liked; alwavs 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
