merely a tall screen, put 
your plants in from 4 to 
6 feet apart. 


PERSIAN LILACS 
Good for All Sections of the County 
PERSIAN LILAC HEDGING PLANTS 
This fall we can supply the Persian Lilac in three distinct shades: 
a very light pink, a medium shade, and a very deep old rose that most 
nearly approaches red in color and is really Rothomagensis Rubra. 
If one is planting as many as 30 or more plants, we recommend a 
combination of all 3 shades. 
For a hedge using less than 30 plants, the deep rose-pink” (Rotho- 
magensis Rubra) is the most outstanding.

AND OUR FAMOUS 
PERSIAN LILAC HEDGE 
Generally in Bloom the Last Two Weeks in 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 is 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 fall: 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 
country. 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 farther north than 
they otherwise could be grown. 
After our 79 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. 
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.
