Lilaes 
Advance sales have exhausted our entire stock except 
for the two new varieties shown below. 
Many customers, particularly on the Pacific Coast, 
have complained because our own originations have been 
restricted to certain firms for distribution exclusively by 
them. For this reason we have selected two fine ones 
for general sales and are now offering them for the first 
time. 
Stock is very limited this season so we must restrict 
orders to not more than 5 plants of each. 
NOVELTIES 
Cora Brandt (3) 
The double white flowers of moderate size 
are borne well above leaves in broad, 
much-compounded clusters made up of as 
many as six spikelets. The flowers are not 
at all crowded in the clusters which is a 
serious fault of so many lilacs. These fea- 
tures make it unique among double whites. 
The plant is compact and unusually well 
formed with numerous spreading branches 
making it a heavy producer. Plant is of 
moderate growth and blooms in midsea- 
son. A further good point is that flowers 
are very firm so keep well when cut. 
This is named as a tribute to the highly 
efficient work of the gracious lady who has 
been secretary of California Horticultural 
Society since its organization in 1933. 
3to4ft. $2.00 each; 5 @ $1.75 
Pink Cloud (3) 
The soft lavender-pink flowers are of me- 
dium size borne in extremely long clusters 
well above foliage. Growth is erect and 
very vigorous. Blooms in late midseason 
and is enormously productive. Notes made 
during test show that in 1941 a one year 
bud bore a cluster 12 inches tall and 7 
inches wide at base. A 1943 -note reads: 
“just a cloud of pink blossoms well above 
all foliage and in long clusters at that.” 
This note accounts for name chosen for it. 
4to5ft. $2.50 each;. 5 @ $2.25 
Curiously enough the original seedlings described 
above were both tagged for observation on the same 
day, April 18th, 1939, and in the 8 seasons that they 
have been under observation there is not one un- 
favorable note on either.
