Our 
OWN 
ROOT 
S. stands for single florets; 
D. stands for double florets; 
S. D., semi-double. 
We have in storage, ready to ship on a moment’s notice, the largest 
and finest stock of French Lilacs we have ever grown. These are all 
Own Root Lilacs and are hardy anywhere in the United States where 
the Lilac grows. 
Customers placing orders for Lilacs should do so as early in the season 
as possible, as the Lilac starts to grow very early in the spring and it is 
best to plant before this growth starts. 
Our Lilacs; with few exceptions, were dug in the fall and planted in 
soil in our large storage room. Shipment can be made just as early in 
the spring as you can plant and we can accommodate our Southern 
customers any day in the winter. 
ADELAIDE DUNBAR. S.D. Opening blossoms are dark purplish red, 
changing to a bright red as they open. The clusters are large and 
compound. After this flower has opened it is one of the richest of 
all the bright dark reds. This is an American variety, originated by 
John Dunbar, who was for many years Supt. of Parks in Rochester, 
New York. This variety and President Lincoln are his two best 
varieties. 2 to 3 ft., $2.50; 3 to 4 ft., $3.50 
ALPHONSE LAVALLEE. D. Blue. Tall, robust growing; makes a very 
shapely bush. Panicles long, broad, shapely, and compact. Opens an 
intense blue, but as the florets develop it changes to a beautiful shade 
of lavender. Splendid sort. 2 to 3 ft., $1.50; 3 to 4 ft., $2.00 
Lilac Liat 
FARIBAULT, MINN.

BERRYER. S.D. A beautiful clear mauve with deeper shadings toward 
red. One of the very choicest of the early hybrids; distinctly different; 
also the latest of the new line of Lilacs. Exceedingly pretty. 
2 to 3 ft., $2.50; 3 to 4 ft., $3.00 
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. 
2 to 3 ft., $2.50; 3 to 4 ft., $3.00 
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; 3 to 4 ft., $2.00 
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. 
2 to 3 ft., $4.00; 3 to 4 ft., $5.00 
DE SAUSSURE. D. Medium sized, compact, slender spike. Buds open 
deep wine-red with touches of white in the points of the petals, giving 
the bloom an interesting effect. As the flower develops it fades to a 
deep rose color. We found this season that many people admired 
this, variety on account of its unusual-color effect. 
2 to 3 ft., $2.50; 3 to 4 ft., $3.00
