Decaisne 
Decaisne is one of the truly outstanding Lilacs. We are fortunate this season in being able to illustrate it in color. 
The panicles are of average size, graceful, erect, and of a beautiful shade of light blue, with the blue overlaid with 
strong tones of rose-pink. The plant is of medium size and is one of our very best blooming varieties. Both Decaisne 
and Pres. Lincoln have single florets while Olivier de Serres has double florets. But for Lilacs classified as blue these 
three fine varieties lead the parade.
