BRAND’S LILACS 
are all on their OWN ROOTS 
These bushes come to you all ready to plant. 
They need no trimming. Now that the French Lilac 
can be propagated successfully on its own root, 
there is no longer any reason why a Lilac propa- 
gated in any other way should be planted. 
With Blooms so Large and so Beautiful 
One can Hardly Imagine that They are 
Related to the Common Lilac

ROOT 
S.—Stands for single florets. 
D.—Stands for double florets. 
S.D.—Semi-double. 
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. 2 to 3 ft., $2.00; 3 to 4 ft., $2.50 
BERRYER. S. D. A beautiful clear mauve with deeper shadings toward 
red. One of the very choicest of the early hybrids; distinctly dif- 
ferent; also the latest of these early hybrids. We like this variety 
very much. 2 to 3 ft., $2.00; 3 to 4 ft., $2.50 
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. 2 to 3 ft., $2.00; 3 to 4 ft., $3.00

Brands New Improved Qnench Lilacs 














INSIS ON OWN ROOT 
LILACS 
In placing your order for Lilacs, you will nature 
ally compare prices. 
Do not confuse the prices of Lilacs grafted or 
budded on California Privet with the price of own- 
root Lilacs. 
It is the Own-Root on a French Lilac that makes 
it cost more, 
Our French Lilacs are on their own root 
CHARLES SARGENT. D. Medium tall growing variety. Very shapely 
and vigorous plant. Color a beautiful light lavender. Very double 
flower with florets very full; long, narrow, pointed petals. 
2 to 3 ft., $1.50; 3 to 4 ft., $2.00 
CHARLES X. S. One of the older varieties that is still in great demand 
because of its profuse blooming qualities and also because it is one 
of the very best varieties of all for cut flowers. Blooms will stand 
perfect in water for a full week. A deep rose-red. 
2 to 3 ft., $1.50; 3 to 4 ft., $2.00 
DECAISNE. S. We think a great deal of this Lilac. It is most refined 
in every way. Nice bush with clean foliage; large panicles very nicely 
formed, and many of them. A very delicate true rich blue. Rated by 
many as the best. For real refinement in color this would, without 
doubt, be rated as one of the best of the single light blues. 
2 to 3 ft., $5.00 
DE MIRIBEL. S. Dark bluish violet. This is by far the darkest of all 
our Lilacs. It is always admired by those who see it in bloom in our 
nursery because it is so distinct in color from all the others. It is o 
of the choicest in the entire line. Panicles rather slender, long, 
pact, and upright. Very. noticeable. This is one blue yor 
really have. You will note we often have to omit this fine 
from our list as the demand is greater than our supply. A late variety. 
18 to 24 in., $5.00
