LILACS 
GROUP I (continued) 
CORA BRANDT, BCDE 
The double white flowers of moderate size are borne 
well above leaves in broad, much-compounded clus- 
ters made up of as many as six spikelets. The flowers 
are not at all crowded in the clusters which spoils so 
many double lilacs. These features make it unique 
among double whites. The plant is compact and un- 
usually well formed with numerous spreading 
branches making it a heavy producer. It is of mod- 
erate growth and blooms in midseason. A further 
good point is that flowers are very firm, so keep 
well when cut. This is named as a tribute to the high- 
ly efficient work of the gracious lady who has been 
secretary of California Horticultural Society since its 
organization in 1933. For sale east and west as well 
as outside the U. S. A.
