T Syringa Rothomagensis. Sometimes called 
JjllUC Chinese and Rouen Lilac. Grows to a 
height of 10 to 12 ft. and l)looms in April and May. Blossoms 
purple, blooms well, and the special advantage of this lilac is 
that it does not make sprouts away from the bush. There¬ 
fore, it is preferred for hedges around gardens and lawns where 
the occasional sprouts of the Old Time Lilac are sometimes 
objectionable. Stands shearing well.

Pruning of Flowering Shrubs be^^cut'down 
to make a new young growth, pruning should be done eai-ly in 
the spring before the shrubs get green. The new growth 
coming from the root crown is vei'y vigorous, and grows to a 
pretty shape within one or two seasons. All other pruning 
which is to shape up the top growth should take place during 
the growing season, just as soon as the shiubs are through 
lilooming. This summer pruning or- shearing applies just to 
the liianches, not to the old main canes. After pruning (in dry 
seasons) a heav.\' watering of the shrubs should follow to keep 
up the vitality of the shrubs.
