Che Magnificent 
When we say the “biggest and best’ Lilac in existence, we mean just 
that! It is immense in every respect. Its leaves are bigger, it grows better, 
its flower trusses are larger, individual flowers are of greater size than 
im any other variety we know about. Last but not least, as a cut flower 
it is longer lasting than any other kind we have ever tried. 
In our opinion the most outstanding features of Clarke’s Giant Lilac are 
the great size of the individual flowers, 11/4 to 1 inches across, the truly 
huge size of the flower clusters together with their unusual four-sided 
pyramidal form. It is safe to say they attain a length of 12 inches or 
better and are about 7 to 8 inches wide at the base of the cluster.

ONew Lilac, Clarke’ 
I/ (Plant Patent 
Ldyvit No. 754) 
The remarkable vigor and 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 
fee] 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 country.
