FRENCH LILACS- These wonderful new Lilacs commence blooming 
very young, usually the same year of planting. Enormous flower clusters 
of exquisite colors and pleasing fragrance measure 10 to 12 inches in 
length. They are perfectly hardy and will not sucker, as they are care- 
fully budded on hardy under-stocks. Excellent for lawn specimens, corner 
groups, hedges or screen effects. Below we offer some of the choicest 
named varieties, but if one is not particular about securing any certain 
variety, we can furnish them by color at reduced rates. Your choice of 
Ihilac-blue, Purple, Maroon-red or Creamy White. Specify colors wanted. 
2-yr., blooming size, 45c each; 2 for 80c; any 4 of above colors, $1.50.

in. bushes, 55c each.

passed for cut flowers. 2-yr., plooming size bushes, 70c each; 3 for $1.85. 
CHARLES JOLY A purple-red, and one of the best double dark red va- 
rieties. Bush medium in both size and height, limbs growing very uDp- 
right. Large blooms, held well above foliage. Very striking. Heavy, 
3-yr., 18 to 24 in. bushes, 70c each; 3 for $1.85. 
PRESIDENT CARNOT A beautiful pink variety, noted for its perfection 
of bloom, and dainty, pleasing color. Where softness of tone is desired, 
President Carnot fills the bill, i 
Long, large, and ex- 
upright grower. 
One 
as it blends pleasingly with white and 
creamy shades of surrounding shrubs, without the glaring contrast oc- 
casioned when stronger colors are used. Heavy, 3-yr., 18 to 24 in. bushes, 
55c each; 3 for $1.50. 
PRESIDENT GREVY A clear, soft, delicate blue. Has immense panicles 
which are extremely double and symmetrical. Considered one of the best 
varieties. 2-yr., blooming size pushes, 65c each; 3 for $1.75.

manding the highest prices wherever offered. Beautiful single blue flow- 
ers three-fourths to seven-eighths inch across. Purplish lilac when in 
bud, and Wedgewood-blue when fully open, large clusters. Branches up- 
right and compact. Vigorous and early bloomer. President Lincoln is 
truly a real advance in blue lilacs. We offer a limited supply of 2-yr. 
pushes, while they last, at only 75c each; 3 for $2.00. 
OCEAN SPRAY (Holodiscus Discolor) Here is a brand new shrub, just 
making its appearance in the Middle West. It is native to Oregon and the 
Pacific Northwest, growing wild in the foothills and on the mountain 
slopes. In habit and manner of growth it has been compared to Hydrangea 
P.G. but this comparison cannot be made with its flowers. It is pyramidal 
in form, with dense sprays of creamy yellow flowers, suggestive of the 
spray of the sea, from whence has come its name. In mature form it is 
truly a beautiful sight, and should be in every planting. Has proven 
hardy wherever tested. Large, plooming-size, 18 to 24 in. bushes, only 45c 
each; 3 for $1.25; 10 for $3.50. 
SNOWBALL, COMMON (viburnum opulus ster- 
ile). Well known favorite, usually blooms in time 
for Decoration Day. Lovely white flowers which ap- 
pear in compact, white balls. Strong 2-yr., 18 to 
24 in. grade, 40c each; 2 for 70c. 
SPIRKEA ANTHONY WATERER  eExtreme- 
ly dwarf variety, maturing 15 to 20 inches high, 
covered with large heads of crimson flowers. Foli- 
age is variegated with creamy white. Removal of 
faded flowers will cause continuous bloom till frost. 
Strong, 2-yr., 15 to 18 in. grade, 35c¢ each; 3 for 95c. 
SPIRAEA DOUGLASI Handsome pink Spiraea, 
maturing 6 to 7 feet tall. Upright grower with red- 
dish brown branches and narrow oblong green 
foliage. Bears immense _ spikes of deep rose- 
colored flowers. Sturdy, 2-yr., 18 to 24 in. grade, 35c 
each; 3 for 95c. 
KOREAN SPIRAEA (‘Trichocarpa). A  hand- 
some new shrub, favoring Van Houttei in char- 
acter, but vastly superior. Grows 4 to 6 feet tall, 
flowers are larger than Van Houttei and marked 
with distinct darker eyes. Very hardy. Blooms 
two weeks later than the common Bridal Wreath, 
thus prolonging the showiness of this type. Strong, 
2-yr., 18 to 24 in. grade, 30c each; 3 for 75c.
