With Blossoms so Large and so Beautiful 
One can Hardly Imagine That They Are 
Related to the Common Lilac 
BRAND'S LILACS 
are all on their 
OWN ROOTS 
These bushes come to you all ready 
to plant. They need no trimming. Now 
that the French Lilac can be propagated 
successfully on its own root, there is no 
longer any reason why a Lilac propa¬ 
gated in any other way should be 
planted. 
We have experimented with the propagation of the French Lilac for 
over 20 years to find how to grow it in a practical way on its own roots. 
We have discovered how to do this successfully. Before we were able 
to do this we never had any success with French Lilacs in the Minnesota 
climate. We have never had any trouble with our French Lilacs dying 
out since. A French Lilac must be on its own root to do well in a severe 
climate like that of Minnesota.

Growing an Improved Lilac on its own root is a slow process. It 
actually takes us two years longer to produce a Lilac of a given grade 
on its own root than it would take to produce the same grade on privet. 
Yet we insist on sending out only those Lilacs that will prove satisfactory, 
so our customers can depend upon receiving only genuine own-root 
plants. 
We have a wonderful deep rich alluvial soil; the soil in which the 
Lilac revels. This contributes to strong thrifty tops with a large, welb 
balanced root system. 
Our plantings of Lilacs have increased from year to year. We have 
in our collection at the present time over 100 different varieties. As we 
hear of a new variety of merit, we purchase it and try it out over a 
period of years to test its desirability before offering it for sale. We be' 
lieve we now have the largest collection of “own root” high class lilacs 
in the world. 
WHEN TO PLANT YOUR LILACS 
Lilacs can be planted with perfect safety either in the spring or in 
the fall. In the fall we begin to send out our plants the latter part of 
September, and we continue to make shipments throughout the fall 
months, if lilacs are planted in the spring, they should be planted as 
early in the season as possible. 
Ohm, (^%q*q& 
D. stands for double florets; S. for single florets. 
ADELAIDE DUNBAR. D. Opening blossoms are dark purplish red, 
changing to a bright red as they open. The clusters are large and 
compound. After this flower has opened it is one of the richest of 
all the bright dark reds. 2 to 3 $2.00 
ALPHONSE LAVALLEE. D. Blue. Tall, robust growing; makes a very 
shapely bush. Panicles long, broad, shapely, and compact. Opens an 
intense blue, but as the florets develop it changes to a beautiful shade 
of lavender. Splendid sort. 2 to 3 ft., $1.00; 3 to 4 ft., $1.50 
BUFFON. (Giraldi Hybrid.) S. 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. 2 to 3 ft., $2.00; 3 to 4 ft., $2.50 
CAPITAINE BALTET. S. Enormous trusses of single flowers of the 
greatest size. A uniform ruddy purple-lilac. A comparatively new va¬ 
riety that as yet is not widely distributed, but which by Lilac connois¬ 
seurs is pronounced one of Lemoine’s best singles. It is one of the 
most profuse 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., $3.50; 3 to 4 ft., $5.00 
CAPITAINE PERRAULT. D. One of the newer Lilacs introduced 
in 1925 and just beginning to be seen occasionally in gardens possess¬ 
ing the better things. Very smoothly finished, nice appearing cone- 
shaped trusses in a combination of beautiful soft tones of pink, lilac 
and rose. A combination of color tones very appealing to the sense 
of beauty. 2 to 3 ft., $4.00; 3 to 4 ft., $5.00
