MINNEAPOUS AND SAINT PAUL 
Lilac, French, Hybrid 
Varities 
These splendid Lilacs are far superior to the com¬ 
mon varieties, blooming much more consistently, with 
a greater profusion of larger flowers. The plants sel¬ 
dom send out sprouts around the plants as the old 
purple and white kinds do. They generally bloom the 
first year after planting. Available in a wide choice of 
flower colors, they constitute a most valuable group of 
shrubs. No home yard should be without some of these 
Lilacs and they are equally valuable for park use. The 
following varieties are among the most hardy and very 
best Lilacs of this class.

place is noted. 
HARDY HYBRID 
RUGOSA ROSES 
^ThESE are especially valuable for growing in Minne¬ 
sota on account of their hardiness. They need no win¬ 
ter protection. Rugosa Roses are erect growing, with 
spiny stems and have tough crinkled foliage of a 
healthy green. They bloom throughout the summer and 
fall. Particularly useful for planting in shrubbery or 
for hedges, along driveways, borders of properties and 
the like where the fragrant double flowers will be en¬ 
joyed by all. 3 to 4 ft. high.
