The following are the “cream” of the cream of Lilacs. They stand 
out above other varieties because of their enormous trusses and ex- 
quisite colors, as well as their fragrance. No more need be said than 
“these are the best to date.” Although our collection of French Lilacs 
comprises only a limited number of varieties, the purpose of this list 
is to bring to your attention the very newest and most interesting de- 
velopments at the earliest possible date. 
The plants offered are healthy and vigorous, about 2% to 3 feet 
tall, and will flower promptly and profusely as soon as they have be- 
come well established.

The Best Pink Lilac to Date! (Plant Patent No. 768) 
A magnificent new Lilac in a most desirable and unusual color. Pink 
Lilacs have been waited for and wanted for many years. There is 
nothing like it. Buds are red; flowers are single, moderately large and 
soft Paul-Neyron-rose, making a delightful contrast when the large 
clusters are partially expanded. During the several years it was being 
tested, cut flowers at Lilac shows always elicited great admiration and 
most favorable comment. Blooming time is midseason, shortly after the 
really early varieties. The plant is healthy and has remarkable vigor. 
(So far as we know, and our large collection gives ample opportunity 
to judge, this is the only pink Lilac introduced to date.)
