French Hybrid Lilacs 
The hybrid Lilacs listed below differ from the common Lilacs in that their 
flower clusters are much larger and fragrance more entrancing. The plants 
themselves are more dwarf and bushy, u.siially reaching a height of 6 to 8 
feet, and do not sucker or sprout from tl>e roots. A much greater range of 
color runs through the varieties of hybrids than may be found in the common 
varieties, and they commence blooming on very young plants. They are far 
superior to the older sorts in every way. 
CHARLES JOLY. Double flowers of deep reddish-purple. The large flow¬ 
ers are held well above the foliage. 
CLAUDE BERNARD. Very large panicles of light lilac pink, semi-double 
flowers. Blooms a week ahead of the regular lilac season. 
DESCAINE. One of the most outstanding lilacs we know of, and a very 
unusual color. Large panicles of true light blue, single flowers. 
MME. ABEL CHATENAY. The very large, globe-shaped buds look like 
huge clusters of Lily of the Valley. They open into pure white double flowers. 
RUHM VON HORSTENSTEIN. Enormous panicles of flowers are pro¬ 
duced, even on three year old plants. One of the best red shades. Single. 
VAUBAN. A very early flowering variety and the most rapid grower in 
our list. Large panicles of delicate pink, double blooms.

Blue Hydrangea 
HYDRANGEA BLUEBIRD. On Cape Cod, Massachusetts, in a

ful si)ccimen of hydrangea opuloides. The owner permitted a few

father brouglit from China many years ago. The color is a deep, in¬ 
tense blue not found in the greenhouse varieties. A protected loca¬

mend the following; 
BLUE LEAVED HONEYSUCKLE. The Blue Leaved Honey¬ 
suckle (Korolkowi Floribunda) is one of our most u.seful shrubs. 
Growing from 8 to 12 feet high, it may be used in the .shrubbery 
border where its blue-green foliage makes a very pleasing contrast. 
In addition, we have found it to bloom heavier than any other va¬ 
riety, and the large sprays of deep pink flowers are held well above 
the foliage. 2 feet, 60c each; 3 for $1.50. 
DAPHNE-SCENTED HONEYSUCKLE. The 
DaiJhne-Scented Honeysuckle (Lonicera Syrin- 
gantha Wolfll) is a welcome addition to the

implies. The individual florets resemble those 
of Daphne Cneortini in size and shape, and 
exudes the delightful perfume found in Daphne 
and the Trailing Arbutus. They are lilac-i)ink 
in color and produced in early spring. Unlike 
other bush Honeysuckles, it grows only 3 to 
4 feet high, making it suitable for foundation 
planting and for the low shrubbery border. 
It is more graceful in habit than most varieties 
making it desirable for specimen planting. 1 
to 2 feet, 40c each; 3 for $1.00.
