10 ORNAMENTAL FLOWERING SHRUBS 
LILACS 
“FOR LILAC TIME” 
PERSIAN PURPLE LILAC—The dwarf growing type 
which blooms at once; slender branches and narrow 
leaves; upright, 4 ft. purple bloom in May to June; a 
good foundation and border plant for the sun. 
ROTHOMAGENSIS  (Rouen’s Red Lilac)—Immense 
reddish-purple panicles of bloom in May; grows 8 to 
10 ft. in height; fine for the border. 
VILLOSA (Late Lilac)—Dwarf growth, broad leaves, 
late pinkish bloom in long loose panicles. 
COMMON PURPLE LILAC (vulgaris)—The old- 
fashioned favorite and most fragrant of them all; 8-10 
ft. It suckers up making a clump in time; if suckers 
are kept cut bloom will come much sooner than other- 
wise; requires considerable growth before it blooms, 
hence forcing growth by pruning out suckers is ad- 
vised. 
FRENCH HYBRID LILACS 
Perfected flower types in size, form, freedom and 
color. These hybrids give a vast amount of fragrant 
spring bloom in compact panicles and varied shades. 
The growth is comparatively short and stocky, easily 
trained into round- 
headed small tree 
formation. 
ALPHONSE LAVALLE—Broad panicles, violet blue. 
CHARLES X—Fine clusters of lilac flowers, slightly violet, very 
free. 
LUDWIG SPAETH—This is the most beautiful Lilac we have 
ever seen. Flowers are of the darkest blue, a very deep purplish 
shade; large and in very long panicles. A very distinct, superb 
sort that will give great satisfaction and be admired by all. 
MARIE LE GRAYE-—Single. Pure white. 
MICHAEL BUCHNER—Dwarf and stocky. Delicate trusses of 
pale lilac color. 
MME. ABEL CHATENAY—Beautiful globular buds like Lily- 
of-the-Valley reluctantly opening up, but eventually a massive 
truss, snow white. 
MME. LEMOINE—A very large, double white. We consider 
this grand variety the most beautiful pure white French Lilac 
grown.
