PRESIDENT POINCARE. D. 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 
REFLEXA. S. This Lilac always creates a sensation among our visi¬ 
tors when they see it. Reflexa is a species and entirely distinct 
from any other Lilac. The bush resembles Villosa in growth and 
foliage. Grows 10 to 12 feet tall, with long, slender, drooping 
clusters of soft pink flowers of varying shades, which open in 
June. Distinct in that the blooms always droop from the end of 
the limbs. The most beautiful of all the Lilac Species. 
2 to 3 ft., $5.00 
ROCHAMBEAU. D. 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 
RUHM VON HORSTENSTEIN. S. 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., $2.50; 3 to 4 ft., $3.50 
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. S. 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 
STADTGARTNER ROTHPLETZ. D. 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 Stadtgartner 
Rothpletz another fine red, giving bloom later than Charles Joly. 
2 to 3 ft., $2.00 
THUNBERG. D. Very large, long, slender spikes, generally two to 
the panicle. Buds and reverse of florets a violet-mauve with a reddish 
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; 4 to 5 ft., $4.00 
TOUSSIANT L'OUVERTURE. S. O ne of the French varieties that has 
been on the market for many years and one which we think has never 
been excelled in its color. It is a single, very, very dark red purple. 
The color is very intense and rich. 3 to 4 ft., $2.50 
VESTALE. S. 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. D This is about the most wonderful of all the 
French Lilacs. It is no wonder that Victor Lemoine, the originator, 
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 
VILLOSA. S. Another excellent Lilac for large and small plantings. 
Grows into a large shrub, 10 feet high, with large, heavy, waxy 
leaves. Panicles large, broad, plumelike, and of a delicate pink 
color. It comes into bloom after the French Lilacs are gone. 
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 
WILLIAM ROBINSON. D. Invariably well liked; always 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
