All Lilacs prepaid in U. S. 
ALPHONSE LAVALLEE. D. Blue. A tall robust growing variety that 
makes a very shapely bush. The panicles are long and compact. The 
buds first open an intense blue but as the florets develop, they change 
into a beautiful shade of lavender. 2 to 3 ft., $3.00; 3 to 4 ft., $3.50 
AMI SCHOTT. D. A magnificent cobalt-blue with paler reverse. The 
panicles are dense and broad and this superb blue will more than 
please its owner. Stock limited. 2 to 3 ft., $5.00 
BELLE DE NANCY. D. A large satiny rose, showing white towards the 
center. One of the very best pinks among the older varieties. 
2 to 3 ft., $3.00. 
CAPITAINE BALTET. S. A uniform deep pink or light red producing 
panicles of the largest size. A comparatively new variety not widely 
distributed but which by Lilac connoisseurs is pronounced one of 
Lemoine’s best singles. It is one of the most profuse bloomers of all, 
the bush sometimes being almost hidden by the great panicles. This is 
classed among the twelve or fifteen best of all Lilacs. 2 to 3 ft., $5.00 
CHARLES JOLY. D. Purple-red. One of the best of the double dark 
reds. Bush medium both in size and height, limbs growing very up- 
right. Rather large blooms, held erect well above the foliage; very 
striking. 2 to 3 ft., $3.00 
CONGO. S. Immense, single, wine-red. A splendid growing variety that 
produces immense blooms in the greatest profusion. The blossoms, 
when they first open and for several days are sensational because of 
their great size and rich color. Then the color changes to a dull 
purple. When visitors are in our fields and this variety is at its best, 
it goes into almost every order. When in its prime, this is one of the 
greatest reds. 2 to 3 ft., $3.50 
EDITH CAVELL. D. A very showy, creamy white; buds suffused cream 
and pale sulphur. Panicles extra large, long and cone-shaped. This 
Lilac is as large and as fine as Miss Ellen Willmott, but is a different 
type of flower. Ellen Wilmott is more compact and perfect in form 
while the panicle of Edith Cavell is a trifle more open and more lace- 
like in effect. The individual florets are a trifle larger than those of 
Ellen Willmott. Every fine collection should have both. They are 
the two great double white Lilacs and it is difficult to choose between 
the two. 2 to 3 ft., $5.00 
EDMOND BOSSIER. S. This is a new single red or red-purple that 
pleases us very, very much. It is the latest of the single reds, and it 
is so exceedingly soft and rich that we class it as a ‘“‘must have” Lilac. 
This fine variety is one of our favorite reds and we know it will 
prove satisfactory in any garden. (See back cover page.) 
; Not sold except in collection. 
FIRMAMENT. S. A new variety that we are not,able to offer year 
after year. This year we have a limited quantity of this fine single blue 
which we believe stands right at the top among all good Lilacs. The 
panicle is large, loosely arranged, extremely dainty, and of a beauti- 
ful shade of light blue void of any trace of pink. A ‘‘must have” in 
any fine collection. 2 to 3 ft., $5.00 
Baltimore, Md. 
CAPITAINE BALTET is the most awe inspiring Lilac. So far 
everyone has shown a preference for it.

GEHEIMRAT SINGLEMARK. S. A very deep blue-purple. This is a 
very dark Lilac. The long, upright panicles are made up of many 
small lobes that add to the attractiveness of the flower. The plant is 
tall and upright growing. A good variety. 2 t0)3 1£:,193-50 
JACQUES CALOT. S. Here is one of the most pleasing and satisfactory 
of all pink Lilacs. Always a very heavy bloomer. The bush is literally 
covered with fair sized nicely shaped panicles composed of florets 
of great size. Not available until fall. 2 to 3 ft., $3.50 
JEAN MACE. D. A pretty blush-mauve with very large full panicles. 
The panicles are so full it looks as though another floret could not 
be crowded in. The bush is thrifty, erect, and shapely, and is very 
ornamental even after the bloom is gone. 2 to 3 ft., $3.50 
MACROSTACHYA. S. One of the old varieties but a good pink. An 
upright grower with clean light green foliage. Panicles rather 
slender, held upright, a very delicate pink, irregularly bordered with 
a deeper pink. This is distinct in color from all others. 
2 to 3 ft., $3.50 
MARECHAL LANNES. D. One of the most serisational and choicest of 
the entire list of French Lilacs. The panicles are large and shapely, 
composed of about the largest florets found among all the Lilacs. 
Many of them are over an inch in diameter. Color of unopened buds 
is reddish violet, of the expanded florets, campanula-violet. Mrs. 
Harding says of this Lilac: “A beautiful and wonderful Lilac.” 
2 to 3 ft., $5.00 
MAURICE BARRES. S. A very large single with showy, open, widely 
branched panicles. The plant is strong growing and blooms lux- 
uriantly. The general color effect is azure-lilac. A most worthy 
variety. 2 to 3 ft.,. $5.00
