HENRI MARTIN. D. 
This beautiful blue-lav- 
ender, with its extreme- 
ly long, graceful pani- 
cles is a variety we do 
not hesitate to recom- 
mend to anyone who 
wishes the best in Li- 
lacs. Our show plants 
of Henri Martin are 
right to the path as we 
go from the office to the trial 
fields beyond. We pass it many 
times a day when it is in bloom 
and we always stop and marvel 
at its beauty. A Lilac of most 
beautiful form, with large indi- 
vidual florets and with panicles 
often measuring 13 inches in 
length. 
LA PLACE. S. One of the truly 
great Lilacs. The panicles are 
immense, long, rather open, very 
shapely. Florets and petals of 
great size. A deep dark rich red- 
purple. La Place will hold its 
color right out in the burning 
sun about the longest of all the 
red-purples and seems to get 
larger and richer in appearance 
as the days pass. 
LUCIE BALTET. S. A fine cop- 
pery old rose, entirely unlike any 
other Lilac in color. This va- ss : 
riety is as distinct among Lilacs 
as the Peony, Walter Faxon, is 
among Peonies. We have tried for many years to propagate’ WICTOR LEMOINE. See general list.

of this Lilac: “A beautiful and wonderful Lilac.” 
PRESIDENT LINCOLN. S. A new single blue Lilac that is 
now showing up very fine. It is an American Lilac by Dun- 
bar and is a rich clear blue. This is the blue Lilac which 
stood out so conspicuously in the great Lilac collection of 
Col. Plum as a real advance in blue Lilacs. A real blue.

NEW LILACS 
We often get a flood of inquiries about some scarce Lilac that 
happens to be written up in some garden magazine. These varieties 
are usually in the test stage and are not grown in sufficient quantity 
to offer them for sale as it takes many years to propagate a new va- 
riety on its own root. But why pass up the number of good ones 
on the market at the present time? We are now offering such fine 
varieties as Miss Ellen Willmott, Edith Cavell, Olivier de Serres, 
Paul Thirion, and many others. These Lilacs equal in beauty any 
of the new ones in our show garden that we will offer in the future. ; 
So why wait for these scarce new kinds? Own root French Lilacs as grown on our grounds at Faribault. 
Stock such as this goes into this spring’s orders.
