Come ta See Our French Lilacs 

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. 


PERSIAN LILACS 
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. 
In good soil the Persian Lilac attains a height of about 12 
feet and a spread of the same. In poorer soils it grows from 
8 to 10 feet. 
By careful trimming it can be kept down to from 6 to 7 feet 
and still bloom well. Trimming should be done right after the 
blooming season is over. 
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 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. 
After our 78 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 two to one. 
We have the Persian Lilac growing in four distinct colors: 
White, with a little trace of lavender; light pink; medium rose- 
pink; and deep rose-pink. We have only a limited quantity 
of the white and could not place many in any given order. 
If one is planting as many as 30 or more, a combination of 
all four shades would look well, but if the planting is small, 
fewer shades should be used. 
We have large quantities in light pink and medium pink, 
but our supply of the white and deep rose-pink is quite limited 
and these two shades will be sold only in combination with 
the other two in a mixture made up by us in which we will 
use the four shades as our supply from time to time permits. 
However, if you are planting a small row and do not care 
for all shades, we can supply either the light pink or medium 
pink, or a combination of the two. 
Strong, 2- to 4-ft. plants: 10 for $7.00; 25 for $15.00; 50 
for $27.50; 100 for $50.00. 

SPECIMEN PLANTS 
We have a limited quantity of our light shade of Pink 
in beautiful select specimens, 4- to 5-ft. size at $1.00 each: 
6 for $5.00; 12 for $9.00.
