Lucie Baltet 
There are several fine outstanding pink Lilacs all differing and distinct one from the other. All are desirable in 
such degree that one who loves Lilacs would want them all. All of the following are strictly first-class pink 
varieties: Buffon (the very earliest), Leon Gambetta, Lucie Baltet, Macrostachya, Marlyensis, Marechal Foch, 
Mme. Antoine Buchner, and Paul Deschanel. They are all good and the best of the lot is a matter of taste. 
But Lucie Baltet will ever be an outstanding variety. It will be many years, if ever, before we get one to take 
its place. It is a rich, single coral-pink. Every one stops and admires when Lucie Baltet is reached in the show 
garden
