MONTAIGNE. D. Those who like large blooms will find in Montaigne 
a flower to their heart’s desire. The bush is very tall and upright. 
The blooms carried at the top of the stems are simply amazing. From 
memory, we would describe the color as a soft, almost uniform 
creamy pink, with just a faint suggestion of rose. A strong grower. 
$4.00 
MONT BLANC. S. One of the very best of the single creamy white 
varieties. The plant is compact and shapely in growth, with clean 
foliage. The panicles are large, rather compact, and of excellent form. 
$2.50 
OLIVIER DE SERRES. D. A clear, clean, uniform light blue. The bush 
is tall and a good grower. The large double flowers are packed closely 
on the stem. Panicles are very large and the general effect of the 
plant when in full bloom is simply amazing. Like all of these Lilacs 
one does not see this variety at its very best until the plant is from 
8 to 10 years of age. We class it as a Lilac of the very highest quality. 
$4.00 
PAUL THIRION. D. Although this Lilac was first sent out in 1915, 
it is still very scarce. Of all the Lilacs we would say that this one 
taken from a distance is the richest looking of all Lilacs. The trusses 
are large and composed of very double florets of an intense claret- 
rose. The buds are bright, rich red, not purple. A red blending into 
rose. $3.50 
PRESIDENT GREVY. D. Light blue, Immense panicles; very double 
and symmetrical. A clear, soft, delicate blue—President Grevy is one 
of the older sorts and still one of the most desirable. $2.50 
PRESIDENT LINCOLN. S. A new single blue Lilac that always makes a 
fine showing. It is an American Lilac by Dunbar and is a rich clear 
blue. This is the blue Lilac which stood out so conspicuously in the 
great Lilac collection of Col. Plum as a real advance in blue Lilacs. 
A real Wedgwood-blue. $3.50 
REAUMUR. S. Each year we are more impressed with the beauty of 
this variety. The panicles are of the greatest size as the truss is made 
up of several smaller ones all worked together so as to appear as one 
great truss. Color a subdued rose-red. It keeps its color a long time, 
Firmament—One of the Finest of All Blue Lilacs. 
and is a superb variety. $3.50 
ROSACE. D. A magnificent new Lilac with long spikes composed of 
Charles Joly ie at very regular, individual, double florets of a soft mauve-pink. This 
A Splendid Red variety comes into flower late in the Lilac season. This is the first 
time we have been able to offer this new variety and stock is ex- 
tremely scarce. 18 to 24 in. plants, each $5.00 
RUHM VON HORSTENSTEIN. S. A Lilac that produces blooms of the 
greatest size ever on small bushes set out but two years. It is an even 
toned light red-purple. One of those self colors everyone likes. People 
marvel at the immense blooms of this variety on bushes not more 
than 4 feet high. Bloom so profuse some years as to almost hide the 
foliage. $3.50 
SOUV. DE LUDWIG SPAETH. S. This is one of the best known of the 
older varieties. The bush is large and blooms profusely. The color is 
a rich red-purple. $2.50 
THUNBERG. D. Very large, long, slender spikes, generally two to a 
panicle. Buds and reverse of florets a violetemauve with a red 
appearance from a distance. Florets are large; open a light lilac, 
twisting and turning as they open, so that the color of the bud is 
intermingled with that of the inside of the petals, making a very 
striking Lilac, Late. $3.50 
VESTALE. S. One of the best and most graceful of all single whites. 
Trusses very large at base, tapering gracefully to a point, making a 
true cone. Pure rich white. Will satisfy the most exacting. Many 
people admire very much the single white Lilac. Vestale is as fine 
a single white as can be found. Very graceful as a cut flower. $3.00 
VICTOR LEMOINE. D. This is about the most wonderful of all the 
French Lilacs. It is no wonder that Victor Lemoine, the originator, 
gave to it his own name. We class it as one of the three or four very 
best, if not the best. Florets are very double like little double roses. 
These are gathered into panicles of the largest size, and the color 
effect is simply indescribable. The general effect is a soft rosy pink 
‘overlaid with a delicate blue-lavender. This is also one of the very 
latest to bloom. It is a self color and a great Lilac. $3.50
