FARIBAULT, MINN. 
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 Willmott. 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; 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., $4.00; 3 to 4 ft., $5.00 
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, com- 
pact, 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 
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. Re- 
verse of petals while in the bud are a deep violet-blue 
opening into an immense truss of lacelike 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 
JACQUES CALOT. Here is one of the most pleasing 
and satisfactory of the all-pink Lilacs. Always a very 
heavy bloomer, the bush is literally covered with fair 
sized, nicely shaped panicles composed of florets of 
great size. 2 to 3 ft., $2.50 
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 
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. 2 to 3 ft., $2.00; 3 to 4 ft., $2.50 
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 nurs- 
ery row in 1938. One 4-foot plant had 18 large 
trusses and 3 small ones. 
2 to 3 ft., $3.50; 3 to 4 ft., $5.00

LEON GAMBETTA. D. -Panicles of the greatest size. Buds and re- 
verse 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., $5.00
