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 ft., $2.00; 3 to 4 ft., $3.00 
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 
BERRYER. Semi-double. A beautiful clear mauve with deeper shadings 
toward red. One of the very best of the early hybrids; distinctly dif- 
ferent; also the latest of this new line of early Lilacs. 
2 to 3 ft., $2.50; 3 to 4 ft., $3.00 
BUFFON. S. The earliest of the early hybrids. Individual florets large and 
of fine substance. We think Buffon very choice. Color is a rich deli- 
cate clear pink of the finest quality. Panicles very large. It heralds 
the Lilac season. 2 to 3 ft., $2.50; 3 to 4 ft., $3.00 
CAPITAINE BALTET. S. Enormous trusses of single flowers of the 
greatest size. A uniform ruddy purple-lilac. A comparatively new va- 
riety not widely distributed, but which by Lilac connoisseurs is pro- 
nounced 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 
CHARLES JOLY. D. Purple-red. One of the best of the double dark 
reds. Bush medium both in size and height, limbs growing very up- 
right. Rather large blooms, held erect well above the foliage; very 
striking. 2 to 3 ft., $1.50; 3 to 4 ft., $2.00 
CHARLES X. S. One of the older varieties that is still in great demand 
because of its profuse blooming qualities and also because it is one 
of the very best varieties of all for cut flowers. A bluish violet-red. 
2 to 3 ft., $1.00; 3 to 4 ft., $1.50 
CHRISTOPHE COLOMB. S. A medium sized bloom of a peculiar and 
very pleasing formation. The florets are broad, open, and arranged 
one about the other so that every floret is visible. A peculiar arrange- 
ment in a Lilac. The color is a very pleasing shade of delicate laven- 
der with the buds tipped bright rose-pink. 
2 to 3 ft., $2.50; 3 to 4 ft., $3.00 
CONGO. S. Immense, single, wine-red. A splendid growing variety that 
produces immense blooms in the greatest profusion. The blossoms, 
when they first open and for several days are sensational because of 
their great size and rich color. Then the color changes to a dull purple. 
When visitors are in our fields and this variety is at its best, it goes 
into almost every order. When it is in its prime, this is one of the 
greatest reds. 2 to 3 ft., $3.00; 3 to 4 ft., $4.00 
DE MIRIBEL. S. Dark blue-purple. This is by far the darkest of 
all our Lilacs. It is always admired by those who see it in bloom 
in our nursery because it is so distinct in color from all the others. 
It is one of the choicest in the entire line. Panicles rather slender, 
long, compact, and upright. Very noticeable. This is one blue you 
should really have. You will note we often have to omit this fine 
variety from our list as the demand is greater than our supply. A 
late variety. 2 to 3 ft., $5.00 
Hampstead, Ind., Feb. 22, 1942. 
“When it comes to Lilacs and Peonies, I do not believe anyone else can 
match you in the character and quality of the stock you furnish.”—Compli- 
ments we received this spring from an old customer. 

EDITH CAVELL. D. A very showy creamy white; buds suffused cream 
and pale sulphur. Panicles extra large, long and cone-shaped. This 
Lilac is as large and as fine as Miss Ellen Willmott, but is a different 
type of flower. Ellen Willmott is more compact in form while the 
panicle of Edith Cavell is a trifle more open and more lacelike in 
effect. It is somewhat later than Miss Willmott. Every fine collec- 
tion should have both. They are the two great double white Lilacs 
and it is dificult to choose between the two. 
’ 2 to 3 ft., $4.00; 3 to 4 ft., $5.00 
EMILE GENTIL. D. When we first saw Emile Gentil blooming in the 
garden of a friend of ours, we thought it the best double cobalt-blue 
we had ever seen. In its shade of blue, there is none better. Just a 
medium size bush covered with bright cobalt-blue flowers. 
2 to 3 ft., $2.50; 3 to 4 ft., $3.50 
EDMOND BOSSIER. S. This is a new single red or red-purple that 
pleases us very, very much. It is the latest of the single reds except 
possibly Volcan, and the color is so exceedingly soft and rich that we 
class it as a “must have” Lilac. 2 to 3 ft., $4.00; 3 to 4 ft., 5.00 
GEHEIMRAT SINGLEMARK. S. A very deep blue-purple. This is a 
very dark Lilac. The long, upright panicles are made up of many 
small lobes that add to the attractiveness of the flower. The plant is 
tall and upright growing. A good variety. 
2 to 3 ft., $2.00; 3 to 4 ft., $2.50 
HENRI MARTIN. D. This beautiful blue-lavender, with its extremely 
long, graceful panicles is a variety we do not hesitate to recommend 
to anyone who wishes the best in Lilacs. Our show plants of Henri 
Martin are right by the path as we go from the office to the trial 
fields beyond. We pass it many times a day when it is in bloom and 
we always stop and marvel at its beauty. A Lilac of most beautiful 
form, with large individual florets and with panicles often measuring 
13 inches in length. 2 to 3 ft., $4.00; 3 to 4 ft., $5.00 
HIPPOLYTE MARINGER. D. Taken one year after another this is 
probably the largest of all Lilacs. Reverse of petals while in the bud 
are a deep violet-blue opening into an immense truss of lace-like petals 
in a delightful blending of pink and delicate shades of blue and 
violet. We always classify this as one of the sensations of the Lilac 
world. 2 to 3 ft., $3.50; 3 to 4 ft., $4.00 
JAN VAN TOL. S. An extremely fine new single white. Panicles of 
most beautiful form composed of the largest single florets to be found 
in a single white; very sweet scented. The longer we grow this Lilac 
the more we like it. It must become thoroughly established before it 
begins to show its true qualities. It demands a rich soil and good care. 
So provided for we have seen it produce panicles of such beauty that 
we have never seen it equaled by any other single white. 
2 to 3 ft., $3.50; 3 to 4 ft., $4.00 
J. de MESSEMAKER. S. A tall, strong growing bush with heavy 
dark foliage. Trusses long, upright, pyramidal and in great profusion. 
Single florets very large. Color which lasts a long time in the sun is 
an intense deep, dark red-purple. Wine-red in general color effect. 
A good Lilac. 2 to 3 ft., $2.50; 3 to 4 ft., $3.50 
JEAN MACE. D. Bluish mauve. Very pretty Lilac. A tremendous 
bloomer. Immense, full panicles. It just seems as though there 
couldn’t be another floret crowded in. Very thrifty bush that grows 
erect and shapely, and is very ornamental even after the blooms are 
gone. 2 to 3 ft., $2.00; 3 to 4 ft., $2.50
