JACQUES CALOT. Here is one of the most pleasing and satisfactory 
of the all-pink Lilacs. Always a very heavy bloomer, the bush is 
literally covered with fair sized, nicely shaped panicles composed of 
florets of great size. 2 to 3 ft., $3.00; 3 to 4 ft., $4.00 
MISS ELLEN WILLMOTT. D. A large bush with very stout limbs and 
of creamy white, made up of double florets almost twice the size of 
those of any other double white except Edith Cavell. Plant this 
variety and Edith Cavell and you have the two best double whites. 
2 to 3 ft., $4.00; 3 to 4 ft., $5.00 
MME. F. MOREL. Single. Morel gave us one great Lilac and this one 
is a masterpiece. A great single that develops into about the largest 
of all Lilacs. Immense panicles with individual florets as big as a 
quarter. A deep purple flushed mauve-pink. This is a “must have.” 
, 3 to 4 ft., $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 va- 
riety. Outside of Edith Cavell and Ellen Willmott this is the next 
best white and a splendid white at that. 
2 to 3 ft., $2.00; 3 to 4 ft., $2.50; 4 to 5 ft., $3.50; 5 to 6 ft., $4.00 
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 THIRION. D. Although this Lilac was first sent out in 1915, 
it is still very scarce. Of all the Lilacs we would say that this one 
taken from a distance is the richest looking of all Lilacs. The trusses 
are large and composed of very double florets of an intense claret-rose. 
The buds are bright rich red, not purple. A red blending into rose. 
2 to 3 ft., $4.00; 3 to 4 ft., $5.00 
PRESIDENT GREVY. D. 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., $2.00; 3 to 4 ft., $3.00 
The Beautiful Lilac, THUNBERG 
One of the latest of all French Lilacs 
to bloom.

This is a reproduction of a photograph taken at our nursery several 
years ago during the blooming season. This plant actually measured 
only 48 inches. 
MICHEL BUCHNER. A. A very profuse blooming variety with a 
strong, nicely shaped. proportioned bush. The panicles are very large 
and the color is a blending of lavender in its lighter and deeper 
shades, starting with deep lavender at the center and fading gradually 
to the outer edges of the petals. 2 to 3 ft., $2.00; 3 to 4 ft. $3.00 
PRINCESS CLEMENTINE. D. Large, neatly formed florets in open, 
medium-sized panicles. The buds, when about to open, are a decided 
_ Marguerite-yellow, expanding into a rich pure white. There is a rich- 
ness about this flower to be found in no other white. First time we 
have offered this variety. 2 to 3 ft., $3.50; 3 to 4 ft., $4.00 
RUHM VON HORSTENSTEIN. S. A Lilac that produces blooms of the 
greatest size even on small bushes set out but two years. It is an even 
toned light red-purple. One of those self colors everyone likes. 
People marvel at the immense blooms of this variety on bushes not 
more than 4 feet high. Bloom so profuse some years as to almost 
hide the foliage. 2 to 3 ft., $3.00; 3 to 4 ft., $4.00 
THUNBERG. D. Very large, long, slender spikes, generally two to the 
panicle. Buds and reverse of florets a violet-mauve with a reddish 
appearance from a distance. Florets are large; open a light lilac, twist- 
ing and turning as they open, so that the color of the bud is inter- 
mingled with that of the inside of the petals, making a very striking 
Iilaeueuates 4 to 5 ft., $4.00; 5 to 6 ft., $5.00 
VESTALE. S. One of the best and most graceful of all the single whites. 
Trusses very large at base, tapering gracefully to a point, making a 
true cone. Pure rich white. Will satisfy the most exacting. Many 
people admire very much the single white Lilac. Vestale is as fine a 
single white as can be found. Very graceful as a-cut flower. 
2 to 3 ft., $2.50; 3 to 4 ft., $3.50; 4 to 5 ft., $4.50 
VICTOR LEMOINE. D. This is about the most wonderful of all the 
French Lilacs. It is no wonder that Victor Lemoine, the originator, 
give to it his own name. We class it as one of the three or four very 
best, if not the best. Florets are very double like little double Roses. 
These are gathered into panicles of the largest size, and the color 
effect is simply indescribable. The general effect is a soft rosy pink 
overlaid with a delicate blue-lavender. This is also one of the very 
latest to bloom, It is a self color. It is a great Lilac. Only a few to 
spare. 2 to 3 ft., $4.00; 3 to 4 ft., $5.00
