NONE DISAPPOINTING 
A great deal of interest has been created of late by a line of new 
hybrid Lilacs coming to us from Canada, largely the work of Miss 
Preston of Ottawa. These hybrid Lilacs are proving very desirable here 
in Minnesota. They are hybrids of Villosa and Josikaea, and like their 
parents they all come into bloom after the French Lilacs are through 
blooming and will prolong the Lilac season about 3 weeks. 
We have 10 different varieties and have found them all good. They 
all grow into large open branching bushes with large heavy waxy leaves. 
They are too much alike to describe each one separately. Most of them 
come in shades of pink and lavender. Some are light, some are medium, 
and some are in deeper shades of pink. 
We are offering ALICE, AUDREY, CONSTANCE, HENRY 
LUTECE, LUCETTA, REGAN, VICTOR and VIOLA in shades of 
pink. 
General description of all varieties: 
1.—AIll in bloom after the French Lilacs are gone. 
2.—They all come in large open, plumelike panicles. 
3.—They all come in shades of pink and lavender. Some are light, 
some are medium, and some are in deeper shades of pink. 
4.—All are decorative and work nicely into bouquets of other flowers. 
5.—All are hardy and easy to grow.

Each year we have thousands of visitors from all sections of 
the country who come to our show room to see our Peonies dur- 
ing the blooming season. 
Our French Lilacs have generally come and gone before our 
show is on, but our hybrid Lilacs are just in their prime. 
We bring into our show room huge bouquets of these hybrids. 
Most of our visitors have never seen a hybrid Lilac and they 
attract attention immediately. They are very much admired and 
many sales are made. 
They are a beautiful flower. Théy are entirely different from 
other Lilacs. They are in season after French Lilacs are gone.
