Our xoor Lilac Liat 
S.—Stands for single florets. 
D.—Stands for double florets. 
S.D.—Semi-double. 

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., $2.00; 3 to 4 ft., $2.50 
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., $2.00; 3 to 4 ft., $3.00; 4 to 5 ft., $4.00 
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 
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., $5.00

Charles Joly (Double) 
Purple-red. One of the Very Best 
of the Double Dark Reds 
(We do not pay trans- 
portation charges on our 
Lilac shipments.) 
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 
EDMUND BOSSIER. S. This is a new single red or red-purple that 
pleases us very, very much. It is the latest of the single reds except 
possibly Volcan, and the color is so exceedingly soft and rich that we 
class it as a “must have” Lilac. 2 to 3 ft., $5.00 
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
