Decaisne 
Decaisne is one of the truly outstanding Lilacs. We are fortunate this season in being able to illustrate it in 
color. The panicles are of average size, graceful, erect, and of a beautiful shade of light blue, with the blue over- 
laid with strong tones of rose-pink. The plant is of medium size and is one of our very best blooming varieties. 
Both Decaisne and Pres. Lincoln have single florets while Olivier de Serres has double florets. But for Lilacs 
classified as blue these three fine varieties lead the parade.
