NURSERY 
1947 SPRING CATALOG 3 

JUNEBERRY 
One of the earliest plants to bloom in 
the spring. Early in the summer the edible 
blueberry-like berries turn red and then 
deep blue. These berries would have some 
culinary value if the birds did not always 
get there first. An attractive and useful 
shrub. 3-4 ft., 60c. 
LILAC 
COMMON PURPLE— 
Is_ perfectly hardy, makes a dense 
growth, flowers fragrant. Often used for 
hedges and screens.

mon Lilac. A shrub with slender, arching

more profuse bloomer than the common 
and does not sprout from the roots. 2-3 ft.,

FRENCH LILACS 
With Blossoms so Large and so 
Beautiful one can Hardly Imagine 
That They are Related to the 
Common Lilac 
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. 3-4 ft., $2.00. 
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. 3-4 ft., 
$2.00; 4-5 ft., $3.00. 
KATHARINE HAVEMEYER— 
D. A splendid Lilac which we like more 
and more the longer we have it. It is 
always an outstanding variety among all 
our plantings. Trusses are immense, very 
full double, very rich and of a most beauti- 
ful mauve-pink. A very thrifty bush. One 
of the most persistent of bloomers. 3-4 ft., 
$3.00. 
MICHEL BUCHNER— 
D. A beautiful Lilac differing from most 
varieties in the blending of its colors. As 
the florets open the center of each remains 
a deep lilac bordered with a broad outer 
edge of distinct lighter shades, making it a 
very striking variety from a distance. 3-4 
ft., $2.00. 
SOUV. DE LUDWIG SPAETH— 
S. Red. Although one of the oldest of 
the improved Lilacs still it is one of the 
very best Lilacs grown. It seems impossible 
to get a red that has so many good, and so 
few bad qualities as Ludwig Spaeth. Pan- 
icles long and held erect well out from the 
foliage. Color a brilliant intense rich 
purple-red, that holds up well in the sun 
and lasts a long time. Bush large and a 
very profuse bloomer. A wonderful Lilac. 
3-4 ft., $2.00. 
MME. FLORENT STEPMAN— 
S. Tall, upright grower, light, clean 
foliage; long, large, extremely rich panicles. 
Pure white with large beautiful florets. This 
year this new Lilac showed up what it 
could really do. It is exceedingly fine. The 
panicles are so large, of such beautiful 
form, and so rich in color, we know you will 
like it for a fine single white. 4-5 ft., $3.00. 
OLIVE 
RUSSIAN— 
10 to 12 feet. Its foliage is of a re- 
markable silver hue, showing up in strik- 
ing contrast to the green of other shrubs - 
and trees. Has fragrant yellow flowers. 
Very hardy. 2-3 ft., 60c. 
SNOWBERRY 
A valuable shrub in: group plantings. 
Conspicuous on account of the masses of 
snow white berries produced in September 
and remaining on the-bushes into the winter 
months. Height 4 to 5 feet. Pink flowers in 
July. 2-3 ft., 50c.
