MME. CASIMIR PERIER (Lemoine 1894) Double. A low-growing, broad, 
dense shrub, covered with a mass of neat, round, well filled clusters of creamy 
white, very fragrant flowers. Decorative, hardy, and extremely popular. 
MME. F. MOREL (Morel 1892) Single. Mammoth trusses of magnificent, 
rosy violet blossoms. Far-famed and highly prized for the giant size and 
luxuriousness of its bloom. Tall, slender, rapid-growing. 
MME. KREUTER (Baudriller 1880) Single. Large, lacy panicles of dainty, 
royal purple flowers. Blooms lavishly. A bush of neat, thrifty habit. 
MME. LEMOINE (Lemoine 1890) Double. Big, impressive spikes of 
dazzling white. Will thrive and bloom under conditions that would discourage 
many other varieties. A tall, symmetrical, and exceptionally rapid grower. One 
of Lemoine’s earliest introductions and still a perennial favorite. 
MONGE (Lemoine 1913) Single. Individual florets exquisitely formed and 
deeply cupped; clusters huge, well filled; color a brilliant mauve-red. Blooms 
profusely; grows vigorously. Showy; sensational. (Illus. p. 11). 
MRS. W. E. MARSHALL (Havemeyer 1924) Single. Long, well filled, 
symmetrical spikes of deep purplish-crimson flowers that retain their rich 
coloring unusually well. Attractive, tidy growth habit. A charming garden 
aristocrat produced by crossing Negro and Uncle Tom. 
NECKER—See Giraldi Hybrids, p. 13. 
NEGRO (Lemoine 1899) Single. Trusses narrow, pyramidal; borne stiffly 
upright; neatly filled with dusky violet-purple blossoms. A slow grower that

NOUVEAU—See Diversifolia Hybrids, p. 14. 
PAUL DESCHANEL (Lemoine 1924) Double. Large, impressive rosy mauve 
blooms; petals of individual florets unusually broad. A rare novelty. 
PAUL THIRION (Lemoine 1915) Double. Buds claret-red; blossoms car- 
mine- to lilac-pink; when partially open, trusses resemble clusters of rose- 
buds. Inclined to a low, spreading growth habit. Among the most unusual 
and beautiful of Lemoine’s originations. (Illus. p. 7). 
PERLE VON STUTTGART (Pfitzer 1910) Double. Big, round buds of 
deep carmine and handsome, perfectly globular flowers, shading from lilac- 
rose to rich pink. Extremely fragrant. Slender and stately. One of the rarest 
French Hybrids in cultivation; almost unknown outside of a few arboretums.
