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. 
We always classify this as one of the sensations of the Lilac world. 
3 to 4 ft., $3.00 
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 
. 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. 
2 to 3 ft., $2.00; 3 to 4 ft., $3.00 
a 
JOSIKAEA (Hungarian Lilac). S. A distinct late flowering species. 
It forms a small tree if desired, otherwise grows naturally as a 
bush. Has large, shining leaves, and dark purple flowers. Here is 
another variety that will prolong your blooming season. 
3 to 4 ft., $1.50 

JULES FERRY. D. Long, very large clusters of silvery mauve florets and 
rose-red buds. One seldom sees this Lilac but it is one of the finest 
of all Lilacs on the pink order. Something exceedingly fine. 
2 to 3 ft., $2.00 
JULES SIMON. D. An erect growing variety with very clean limbs and 
a heavy, clean, light green foliage. Expanding buds show much bright 
intense rose. Opening truss becomes a very rich clear velvety light 
blue. This is one of the lilacs that has been badly overlooked. For 
genuine refinement of color for anyone who likes the nicer tones of 
blue this is the lilac supreme. 2 to 3 ft., $3.00 
KATHARINE HAVEMEYER. D. A splendid Lilac which we like more 
and more the longer we have it. It is always an outstanding variety 
among all our plantings. Trusses are immense, very full double, very 
rich and of a most beautiful mauve-pink. A very thrifty bush. One 
of the most persistent of bloomers. Nearly every 3- to 4-foot bush 
bloomed in the nursery row in 1938. One 4-foot plant had 18 large 
trusses and 3 small ones. 2 to 3 ft., $2.50; 3 to 4 ft., $3.50 
LEON GAMBETTA. D. Panicles of the greatest size. Buds and reverse 
of petals very pink, which gives the flower a general pink effect. Deep 
pink buds open into very double little roselike florets of the daintiest 
pink and lavender. We still say it is the finest of all Lilacs and we want 
to emphasize this. There are many fine Lilacs, but we believe this is 
the most beautiful of all. 2 to 3 ft., $3.00; 3 to 4 ft., $5.00 
LUCIE BALTET. S. A fine coppery old rose, entirely unlike any other 
Lilac in color. This variety is as distinct among Lilacs as the Peony, 
Walter Faxon, is among Peonies. We have tried for many years to 
propagate this fine Lilac in sufficient quantity to supply the demand, 
but the many visitors who come to our nursery during Lilac season 
usually purchase our available stock. However, this fall, we hope to 
supply everyone who orders with a fine 2- to 3-ft. plant. Orders filled 
in turn as we receive them. 2 to 3 ft., $5.00 
MACROSTACHYA. S. One of the old varieties seldom seen nowadays. 
An upright grower with clean light green foliage. Panicles rather 
slender, held upright, a very delicate pink, almost white, irregularly 
bordered with a deeper pink. This is distinct in color from all others. 
2 to 3 ft., $3.00 
MARECHAL LANNES. D. One of the most sensational and choicest of 
the entire list of French Lilacs. The panicles are large and shapely, 
composed of about the largest florets found among all the Lilacs. 
Many of them are over an inch in diameter. Color of unopened buds 
is reddish violet, of the expanded florets campanula-violet. Mrs. 
Harding says of this Lilac: “A beautiful and wonderful Lilac.” 
2 to 3 ft., $3.50; 3 to 4 ft., $5.00 
MARIE LEGRAYE. S. Pure creamy white; to us, this good single French 
Lilac is a special sensation. Panicles very large and rather openly built. 
The individual petals and florets. are very large. Blooms profusely, 
often as a 2-year-old. Sells very readily at a good price as cut flower. 
2 to 3 ft., $1.00 
MARYLENSIS. S. One of the most floriferous of all the Lilacs we have. 
A dwarf for a Lilac, the bush seldom growing over 5 feet high. In 
blooming time absolutely covered with medium sized panicles so thick 
as to leave no foliage visible. The color is a uniform deep old rose. 
It attracts the eye of every visitor. 2 to 3 ft., $3.50 
BRAND PEONY FARMS, Inc 
MAURICE BARRES. S. A very large single with showy, open, widely 
branched panicles. The plant is strong growing and blooms luxuri- 
antly. The general color effect is azure-lilac. The most worthy variety. 
2 to 3 ft., $3.50 
MICHAEL BUCHNER. D. A beautiful Lilac differing from most varie- 
ties in the blending of its colors. As the florets open the center of each 
remains a deep lilac bordered with a broad outer edge of distinct 
lighter shades, making it a very striking variety from a distance. 
2 to 3 ft., $1.50; 3 to 4 ft., $2.00 
MILTON. S. One of the most floriferous of all our Lilacs. Panicles long, 
narrow, candle-like cones are held erect and cover the bush. The 
color is an even shade of light purplish red which holds well in the 
sun. A trifle late in season. 2 to 3 ft., $3.50 
MIRABEAU. D. A tall, upright growing bush that produces very large, 
roselike trusses made up of many intensely double florets, lavender at 
the base fading through delicate pink to white at the center. General 
color effect flesh-pink. 2 to 3 ft., $2.50 
MME. CASIMIR PERIER. D. A very free blooming white with yellow 
stamens giving it a rich creamy appearance. A very strong, thrifty 
plant and always dependable. 2 to 3 ft., $1.00 
MME. ANTOINE BUCHNER. Semi-double. Of all of the truly pink 
varieties we grow, we classify this as the best. This variety we pur- 
chased originally under the name of Georges Bellair and have listed 
it as such until recently when we discovered its true same. We have 
always regarded it as one of our very best Lilacs. It is a late tall- 
growing variety with long shapely open trusses. When seen in the 
bud it is a decided deep pink, but as the florets open they are a pinkish 
white heavily overlaid with intense rosy pink. 2 to 3 ft., $3.00 
MME. FLORENT STEPMAN. 5S. Tall, upright grower, light, clean 
foliage; long, large, extremely rich panicles. Pure white with large, 
beautiful florets. This year this new Lilac showed up what it could 
really do. It is exceedingly fine. The panicles are so large, of such 
beautiful form, and so rich in color, we know you will like it for a 
fine single white. 2 to 3 ft., $2.00; 3 to 4 ft., $3.50 
MME. FRANCISQUE MOREL. S. Morel gave to the world one truly 
great Lilac, this one, and it is truly a masterpiece, one of the great, 
great Lilacs. A Lilac of the largest size and still a beautiful one. Great 
panicles with florets as big as a quarter. A deep purple, flushed mauve- 
pink. 2 to 3 ft., $3.50; 3 to 4 ft., $5.00 
MME. LEMOINE. D. One of the best of the double whites; a pure 
snow-white without tinge of cream. Foliage dark green. Panicles 
large, long, erect; large individual florets. 2 to 3 ft., $1.00 
MONGE. S. One of the newer varieties which seems to deserve the 
name of the best red Lilac. Plant habit good. Panicle very broad at 
base developing into a very nice cone. Color a brilliant deep rich red 
which holds unusually long in the sun. This is the brightest red Lilac. 
Not red-purple, but really red. If one likes red this is the Lilac. 
2 to 3 ft., $4.00; 3 to 4 ft., $5.00 
MONTAIGNE. D. Those who like large blooms will find in Montaigne 
a flower to their heart’s desire. The bush is very tall and upright. The 
blooms carried at the top of the stems are simply amazing. From 
memory, we would describe the color as a soft, almost uniform 
creamy pink, with just a faint suggestion of rose. A strong grower. 
3 to 4 ft., $4.00 
OLIVIER DE SERRES. D. A clear, clean, uniform light blue. The bush is 
tall and a good grower. The large double florets are packed closely 
on the stem. Panicles are very large and the general effect of the 
plant when in full bloom is simply amazing. Like all of these Lilacs 
one does not see this variety at its very best until the plant is from 
8 to 10 years of age. We class it as a Lilac of the very highest quality. 
2 to 3 ft., $5.00 
PAUL DESCHANEL. D. This is a comparatively new Lilac that we like 
very much. From our observation of it, we rate it as a strictly first 
class variety. It is distinct in color, showing a mottling of different 
shades of lilac-pink ranging from deep to very light. The panicle is 
large with a broad based cone running up to a sharp point. 
é 2 to 3 ft., $4.00; 3 to 4 ft.; $5.00 
PAUL THIRION, D. Although this Lilac was first sent out in 1915, 
it is still very scarce. Of all the Lilacs we would say that this one, 
taken from a distance, is the richest looking. The trusses are large 
and composed of very double florets of an intense claret-rose. The 
buds are bright rich red, not purple. A red blending into rose. 
2 to 3 ft., $4.00; 3 to 4 ft., $5.00 
PRESIDENT FALLIERES. D. A lavender-rose marked with white. Pan- 
icles large, loose and showy. Very large. This Lilac is classed by many 
as one of the very choicest of Lilacs. It carries those delicate orchid 
shades so many love. Somewhat similar to Leon Gambetta but with 
smaller florets. 2 to 3 ft., $3.00; 3 to 4 ft., $4.00
