PERSIAN LILACS 
Good for All Sections of the Country 
PERSIAN LILAC HEDGING PLANTS 
We can supply the Persian Lilac in four distinct shades: White; 
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 four shades. We have only a limited quantity of 
the white and could not place many in any given order. 
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 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. 
For a long hedge alternate these four 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 flow- 
ering 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 80 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.
