D. stands for double florets; S. for single florets; S. D. semi-double. 
BERRYER. S. D. A beautiful clear mauve with deeper shadings toward 
red. One of the very choicest of the early hybrids; distinctly dif- 
ferent; also the latest of these early hybrids. We like this variety 
very much. 2 to 3 ft., $2.00; 3 to 4 ft., $2.50 
BUFFON. S. The very earliest of the early hybrids. Individual florets 
large and of fine substance. We think Buffon very choice. Color is 
a rich delicate mauve-pink of the finest quality. Panicles very large. 
We wish to impress upon our customers that if they are looking for 
a pure single pink, Buffon will not disappoint them. 
18 to 24 inches, $2.00; 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 
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 
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. Blooms will stand 
perfect in water for a full week. A deep rose-red. 
2 to 3 ft., $1.00; 3 to 4 ft., $1.50 

‘THE ABOVE PICTURE 
is from a photograph of four average sized plants of our Own’Roos French Lilacs, 
showing one plant of a two- to three-foot size, and three plants of a three- to four- 
foot size. 
The line running through each plant shows the depth you should plant your bushes. 
To one who has never grown an Own-Root French Lilac, the price may seem high. 
But we feel sure you would not wish to care for a plant for five years and offer it 
for a price below what we are charging. ; 
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 
CONDORCET. S. D. The color is a clear, rich, light blue. Panicles 
very large, broad, compact. The plant is very thrifty and grows 
upright. Of medium height. 2 to 3 ft., $1.50; 3 to 4 ft., $2.00 
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 this variety is in its prime it is one 
of the greatest reds. 
18 to 24 in., $2.00; 2 to 3 ft., $3.00; 3 to 4 ft., $4.00 
COMTE ADRIEN DE MONTEBELLO. D. A very nicely arranged pan- 
icle of medium size that has much the appearance of a large bloom 
of a pale blue Hyacinth. No description could fit it better. A very 
pretty flower in a pretty shade of blue. 4 to 5 ft., $5.00 
DECAISNE. S. We think a great deal of this Lilac. It is most refined 
in every way. Nice bush with clean foliage; large panicles very nicely 
formed, and many of them. A very delicate true rich blue. Rated by 
many as the best. For real refinement in color this would, without 
doubt, be rated as one of the best of the single light blues. 
Stout 18 to 24 in., $2.50 
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 and perfect 
in form while the panicle of Edith Cavell is a trifle more open and 
more lace-like in effect. The individual florets are a trifle larger than 
those of Ellen Wilmott. Every fine collection should have both. 
They are the two great double white Lilacs and it is difficult to choose 
between the two. 2 to 3 ft., $4.00 
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 
FRAU BERTHA DAMMANN. S. A very profuse blooming single 
white, so much so as to absolutely cover the bush. This is a finely 
shaped dwarf in growth. 2 to 3 ft., $1.50; 3 to 4 ft., $2.00 
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. 3 to 4 ft., $4.00; 4 to 5 ft., $5.00
