W/L ROOT 
S. stands for single florets; D. stands for double florets. 
ADELAIDE DUNBAR. 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. 2 to 3 ft., $2.50; 3 to 4 ft., $3.00 
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 these early hybrids. We like this variety very much. 
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 
CAPITAINE BALTET. S. Enormous trusses of single flowers of the 
greatest size. A uniform ruddy purple-lilac. A comparatively new 
variety not widely distributed, but which by Lilac connoisseurs is 
pronounced 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, and we class it among the five or six best. 
2 to 3 ft., $5.00 
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 
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., $1.50; 3 to 4 ft., $2.00 
CONDORCET. Semi-double. The color is a clear, rich, light blue. Pan- 
icles 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 
o 
DE SAUSSURE. D. Medium sized, compact, slender spike. Buds open 
deep wine-red with touches of white in the points of the petals, giv- 
ing the bloom an interesting effect. As the flower develops it fades 
to a deep rose color. This is a red that is admired by all who visit us 
during Lilac season. 2 to 3 ft., $2.50; 3 to 4 ft., $3.00 
DUC DE MASSA. D. A tall, erect growing bush covered with great 
quantities of medium size, pure lilac-colored flowers. The petals are 
of great substance and of the largest size. A distinct flower. 
2 to 3 ft., $2.50; 3 to 4 ft., $3.00 
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

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 nursery row in 1938. One 4-foot plant had 18 large 
trusses and 3 small ones. 2 to 3 ft., $4.00; 3 to 4 ft., $5.00 
MARLEYENSIS. S. One of the most floriferous of our entire list of 
Lilacs. A dwarfish Lilac seldom growing over 5 feet high. In bloom- 
ing time absolutely covered with medium sized panicles so close to- 
gether as to absolutely cover the bush with bloom and leave no foliage 
visible. The color is a uniform deep old rose. It attracts the eye of 
every visitor. A very choice Lilac that we will not be able to offer 
again for several years. 2 to 3 ft. bushes, $5.00 
MME. LEMOINE. D. One of the best of the older whites; a snow-white 
without tinge of cream. Foliage dark green. A free blooming variety. 
Outside of Edith Cavell and Ellen Willmott this is the next best white 
and a splendid white at that. Until fully open, there is a slight tinge 
of delicate glistening pink to the buds. A very shapely growing bush 
and one of the most sweetly scented of all Lilacs. The bush does not 
seem to be affected by late spring frosts. 
2 to 3 ft., $1.50; 3 to 4 ft., $2.00 
OLIVIER DE SERRES. D. A clear, clean, uniform light blue with un- 
opened buds a deep violet. The bush is tall and a good grower. The 
large double florets are packed closely on the stem. Panicles are very 
large and the general effect of the plant when in full bloom is simply 
amazing. To see this variety at its very best wait until your plant is 
well established. We class it as a Lilac of the very highest quality. 
2 to 3 ft., $4.00; 3 to 4 ft., $5.00 
PAUL DESCHANEL. D. One of the newer Lilacs that we like very, very 
much. Long, cone-shaped blooms tapering from a broad base up to 
a point. The color is rather hard to describe as it is a blending of 
several shades and colors that make accurate description of color im- 
possible. An exquisite blending of violet, lavender and rose-pink. 
2 to 3 ft., $5.00 
PRESIDENT FALLIERES. Double. A tall, upright growing Lilac that 
is very much admired. Panicles rather open, nicely cone-shaped, buds 
very pink as they open with the floret retaining much of the pink 
after opening. Center of floret white bordered pink. A very bright 
clear pink. 3 to 4 ft., $4.00; 4 to 5 ft., $5.00 
PRESIDENT GREVY. Double. Light blue. Immense panicles; very 
double and symmetrical. A clear, soft, delicate blue—President Grevy 
is one of the older sorts and still one of the most desirable. 
2 to 3 ft., $1.50; 3 to 4 ft., $2.00 
PRESIDENT POINCARE. D. Very thrifty plant; grows into a large, 
heavy-limbed bush. Panicles large to very large, globular, made up 
of many lobes. Petals very large, purplish red on outside, turning to 
lavender-blue as they open. An immense and impressive bloom. 
2 to 3 ft., $3.00; 3. to 4 ft., $4.00
