PERSIAN LILACS 
Good for All Sections of the Country 
The plants are absolutely hardy and we believe that such a hedge will 
outlive the person who plants it. 
The Persian Lilac grown as a hedge also makes a wonderful wind- 
break for city lots in the colder, windier sections of the country. It will 
make the growing of the more tender perennials 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.

THE BEST FARM AND ORCHARD 
WINDBREAK 
After our 77 years in the nursery business here in Minnesota, we 
readily recommend it as the best farm windbreak, as it will outlive an 
evergreen windbreak two to one. If farmers are interested and wish to 
plant in quantity, one shade of the Persian is sufficient. 
SPECIAL OFFER 
This spring we do not have Persian Lilacs in sufficient quantity in the 
different shades to list them separately. We are offering them in bundles 
of 10 each, with the shades properly balanced by us in each order we fill.

Other Shrubs Not Listed on Color Page 
BITTERSWEET, American. One of the hardiest climbers. 
Desirable for the large clusters of beautiful orange-red ber- 
ries which remain all winter. Extra fine for winter bouquets. 
Bittersweet ‘comes in both sex plants, male and female. To 
be sure to get fruiting plants, one should plant three or four 
vines. 2 for $1.25, postpaid 
BUCKTHORN, Rhamnus Chadwicki. Buckthorn is prob- 
ably the most extensively used of all hedge plants through- 
out the Middle Northwest where a very hardy plant is de- 
manded. It trims into a beautiful hedge. For best effect, 
Buckthorn should be planted in two rows with the rows a 
foot apart and the plants staggered in the rows a foot apart. 
When the planting is first made, the plants should be cut 
back to within 6 inches of the ground. Let it grow to the 
height you wish it and then keep it trimmed to this height. 
Prices same as Cotoneaster 
COTONEASTER Acutifolia. The hardiest of all the Coton- 
easters. This is one of the most beautiful of all shrubs. Many 
shrubs are beautiful during the blooming season, but Coton- 
easter is not grown for its bloom, which is not noticeable, 
but for the beauty of the shrub itself. It grows into a 
symmetrical, slender-limbed shrub covered all summer with 
rich dark green foliage which looks as though it was waxed. 
It gives an exceedingly beautiful effect from early spring 
until late fall if planted about the base of a white house.
