New Fragrant LILACS... 
The support of our garden friends helping us revive the popularity of this excellent subject has 
been most gratifying. Our efforts in behalf of Lilacs may be attributed to the splendid work of 
Mr. W. B. Clarke of San Jose, noted hybridizer of spring flowering shrubs and trees. It was he 
who developed the two excellent varieties pictured below on this page, Kate Sessions, and 
Missimo. This year we have the pleasure of offering another new variety developed by Mr. 
Clarke, named Esther Staley, and described below. Sizeg and prices for bare root plants for 
January through March planting are given following descriptions. Plants in 5-gallon containers 
for planting after April Ist will be 75c higher. 
LILACS 
ALICE EASTWOOD. DS19. Named for our famed California 
botanist. Flowers of Alice Eastwood are double, borne on 
long ‘‘streamlined’’ spikes carried well above the foliage. 
Dark, claret-purple flower buds change to bluish purple 
and finally to pink. Beautifully formed clusters are four- 
sided, frequently paired, are not crowded as in so many 
doubles. Flower spikes are prominently displayed well 
above the foliage. Vigorous plants are delightfully produc- 
tive of fragrant flowers and bloom in mid-season. Bare 
root, 3-4’ $4.50; 2-3’ $4.00; 114-2’ $3.50. 
BLUE HYACINTH. DS22. Your first glance at this unusual 
lilac suggests the name selected by Mr. Clarke. The re- 
markably long corolla tubes and lobes rival the flowers 
of well-grown hyacinths. The lobes (or petals), straight- 
ened out, measure up to 1%4 inches across. Light mauve 
buds open to blue flowers with delicious fragrance. Curi- 
ously, Blue Hyacinth is a chance seedling with no record 
of its parentage, a product of a rare whim of nature. 
Early, productive. Bare root, 3-4’ $4.50; 2-3’ $4.00; 114-2’ 
$3.50. 
KATE SESSIONS. DS25. Named for the memory of Califor- 
nia’s famed nursery-woman, this lilac may rank with San 
Diego’s Balboa Park as a living tribute to her industry and 
genius. Single flowers are medium purple in the bud open- 
ing mauve purple, finally blue. Clusters are large in both 
length and width and individual flowers are enormous, 
often 114” across. Very productive beginning with young 
plants. Very early, this lilac will be the first to bloom in 
your garden. Growth is between moderate and vigorous. 
Bare root, 3-4’ $4.50; 2-3’ $4.00; 1-2’ $3.50. 
MARCEAU. DS28. Mr. Clarke imported this beautiful lilac 
after seeing it blooming in France in 1938. The individual 
flowers are large: and of good substance, valuable for 
cutting. Broad panicles of flowers are single claret purple, 
a gorgeous sight in bloom. Plenty of flowers in mid-sea- 
son. Bare root, 2-3’ $3.25; 12-2’ $2.75. 
MARECHAL FOCH. DS29. Originated in France by Le- 
moine and considered by European authorities the finest 
lilac known Marechal Foch is a vigorous, erect grower, 
producing large bright carmine flowers in enormous clus- 
ters often 12 to 14 inches long and nearly a foot wide. 
Bare root, 3-4’ $3.75; 2-3’ $3.25; 112-2’ $2.75. 
MISSIMO. DS30. China's favorite daughter may well be 
proud of her namesake the most recent introduction by 
Mr. W. B. Clarke of San Jose. The size of the flower clus- 
ters is almost unbelievable; largest so far measured, 14 
inches broad by 10 inches long. Single, cyclamon-purple 
flowers have reflexed and twisted ‘’petals.’’ Clusters are 
borne in profusion on vigorous plants; moderately early. 
Bare root, 3-4’ $4.50; 2-3’ $4.00; 12-2’ $3.50. 
MRS. W. E. MARSHALL. DS31. An outstanding American

are also medium large and usually 
compounded. The season is medium 
late. Growth is remarkably vigorous,
