The buds are claret-purple, when open are handsome double Cyclcmen- 
purple. Clusters are beautifully formed and slender, almost ‘‘spike

and extra fine variety.

panicles are dense and broad. This is a superb novelty.

General Sheridan Each $3.00, Three $8.00, Doz. $30.00 
This is an exceptional double white Lilac with extremely large trusses 
composed of many small florets. Its blooming period tends to be later 
than most of the other French Lilacs which makes it an ideal variety 
for combined plantings. 
Henri Martin Each $4.00, Three $11.00, Doz. $40.00 
One of the top ranking Lilacs, a Lemoine introduction in 1912. We 
consider it excellent and so do the experts. Massive clusters of double 
pinkish lilac blooms which stand well above the foliage. Makes a beau- 
tiful show in spring. 
Marechal Lannes Each $4.00, Three $11.00, Doz. $40.00 
This variety is a good grower and free bloomer, Its massive clusters 
of double flowers are a lovely shade of bluish violet while the buds 
are brilliant carmine-rose. The contrast is spectacularly beautiful. In- 
troduced by Lemoine in 1910; it is still a top rank variety. 
Marechal Foch Each $3.50, Three $9.75, Doz. $35.00 
A sensational new Lilac. The expert horticulturist, Felix Crousse, pro- 
nounced this to be the handsomest of all single Lilacs. The high pan- 
icles, carried by long, straight stems, are truly immense and very light. 
The individual flowers, fully one inch in diameter, perfectly shaped, are 
of a bright carmine-rose with a pink eye when opening, contrasting 
with the mauve of the older flowers and the deep carmine of the buds.
