LILACS 
RECENT EUROPEAN NOVELTIES (continued) 
MASSENA—DE. “Single; strong upright spikes; flowers 
single over one inch broad and of the deepest 
purple red.’ Size of flower is not exaggerated; 
they are huge and are borne in fine spikes. 
MONUMENT—CDE. ‘Single; very big and compact trusses 
of creamy white flowers. A very showy nov- 
elty of an unusual floriferousness.” Early, 
snow white, precocious, productive and carries 
flowers well above foliage. A real Lilac! 
PRODIGE— DE. ‘Single; this novelty carries good 
trusses of immense flowers, measuring fully one- 
and-one-half inches in breadth, of deep pur- 
plish red.” The flowers (not clusters) are the 
largest we have seen. Very fragrant which is 
not so usual in dark varieties. 
C-127—CDE. Single pinkish-orchid; greatly admired at our 
1 show. 
C-138—BCD. Single; mauve-pink. Foot long clusters even 
on 1 yr. buds. Vigorous; produces freely over 
a long season.
