AND OUR FAMOUS 
Pe^i64a*t jUilac HEDGE 
Generally in Bloom the Last Two Weeks Sn May 
The Persian Lilac in its different shades makes the finest of 
all untrimmed flowering hedges. The above illustration is a 
picture of our Persian Hedge growing in its natural form on 
our nursery grounds. You will note that the hedge is literally 
covered with bloom from the ground up and it is truly a 
wonderful sight to see. People drive here for miles around just 
to see this hedge when it is in bloom the latter part of May. 
We have three distinct shades to offer this spring, a light 
pink, a deep rose^pink, and an intermediate shade. 
Alternate these three shades and you have a wonderful 
blending of colors and as fine a flowering hedge as you could 
hope for. In Minnesota and similar states where windbreaks 
are a necessity, the Persian Lilac is a perfect flowering shrub to 
use for this purpose. 
The plants are absolutely hardy and we believe that such a 
hedge would outlive the person who planted it. 
The Persian Lilac grown as a hedge also makes a wonderful 
windbreak for city lots in the colder, windier sections of the 
countr)^ It will make the growing of the more tender peren^ 
nials and shrubs much easier and moves the possibility of 
growing such things from 100 to 200 miles further north than 
they otherwise could be grown. 
After our 71 years in the nursery business here in Minne¬ 
sota, we readily recommend it as the best farm windbreak, as 
it will outlive an evergreen windbreak 2 to 1. If farmers are 
interested and wish to plant in quantity, we shall be glad to 
furnish prices. 
Directions for planting: For a tight hedge, plant 2 feet apart. 
If you wish merely a tall screen, put your plants in from 4 to 6 
feet apart.
