gnificent ONew Lilac, Clarke's Giant sett" 
est’’ Lilac in existence, we mean just 
Its leaves are bigger, it grows better, 
jividual flowers are of greater size than 
t. Last but not least, as a cut flower 
. 1d we have ever tried 
features of Clarke’s Giant Lilac are 
wers, 11/4 to 114 inches across, the truly 
together with their unusual four-sided 
they attain 
ta 
at the 
a length of 12 inches or 
base of the cluster. 
The remarkable vigor of growth accompanied by about the largest leaves 
we have ever seen on Lilacs, as well as the abundance with which the 
flowers are produced, makes it the finest and surpasses by far any other 
Lilac introduced to date. It may sound like a big statement but we here 
feel that it would be difficult to praise this magnificent novelty too highly. 
The color is soft gentian-blue when fully open. The flower clusters are 
carried well above the foliage. The fragrance leaves nothing to be desired. 
It will be very difficult to improve Clarke’s Giant. At the moment there 
is nothing anywhere near like it. It is one of the finest spring flowering 
shrubs of the century.
