LILACS 
GROUP I (continued) 
KATHERINE JONES, C 
Huge compound clusters of large rosy-purple flow- 
ers. A fine show and cut flower variety. 
MARECHAL FOCH, A 
Bright carmine rose with a pink eye. Immense 
trusses borne on long straight stems. 
MISSIMO, ABCDE 
The single flowers are rosy purple (Cyclamen Pur- 
ple H. C. C. 30/2 deepening with age to 30/3) 
with acute, reflexed and curled or twisted “petals” 
(lobes). Flowers at first are really very large, up to 
114 inches wide, but after the lobes curl they appear 
smaller. Huge is the word for the clusters which are 
broader than long; ove makes a bouquet! Our ori- 
ginal description stated that the largest we had 
found was 14 inches in width and 10 inches long, 
but in Spring, 1946, when Mr. Phillip Morse of A. 
B. Morse Co., St. Joseph, Michigan, was here taking 
colored photographs, we together measured a cluster 
twenty inches wide which seems unbelievable. Best 
of all, it is extremely productive, loading the pent 
with flowers very early in the season. 
MONGE, B 
A large flowered single deep purple variety simi- 
lar to Diderot but much earlier. 3 
MONUMENT, ABDE ! : 
One of the best single white, very precocious and 
- productive. Flowers well above leaves. 
MOOD INDIGO, ABCD 
Buds are extremely dark ruddy purple. The large 
single flowers often exceeding an inch in width are 
dark purple in clusters up to 8 or 9 inches long which 
often show leaflike bracts. Variety is well marked 
by violet hue of new growth. For sale east and west. 
MOUNTAIN HAZE, ABC 
Has dark purple buds which open to purplish blue 
single flowers of moderate size borne about mid- 
season in huge compound clusters in remarkable pro- 
fusion. Meets every requirement for a first class ‘gate 
den variety. For sale east and west. 
MRS. W. E. MARSHALL, BD 
A really good very dark late variety with ee ae 
der panicles. Rich violet purple. Similar to Ludwig 
Spaeth but a much more prolific bloomer.
