TALL GROWING SHRUBS (continued) 
LILAC, Common. (Syringa Vulgaris) 7 to 8 ft. The old- 
fashioned very fragrant lilac that blooms in May. Very 
hardy in most any soil or location, it can be grown as an 
individual shrub and kept trimmed or as a background 
plant to grow tall in its natural shape. Where a large 
hedge is desired, either trimmed or untrimmed, it is ideal. 
Specify when ordering the color wanted, either purple or 
white. For Lilac hedge plants see page 8.

LILAC, Rouen, Improved Persian. (Syringa Rothamagen- 
sis) 6 to 7 ft. The improved Persian lilac retains the val- 
uable characteristics of the Persian with its upright com- 
pact habit of growth, slender branches and small attrac- 
tive leaves. The outstanding improvement is larger 
flower and the rich reddish purple color of the blossoms 
that are produced in profusion.

THE FRENCH HYBRID LILACS 
These splendid Lilacs are far superior to the common vari- 
eties, blooming much more consistently, with a greater 
profusion of larger flowers. They seldom send out sprouts 
around the plants as the old purple and white kinds do. 
They generally bloom the first year after planting. Avail- 
able in a wide choice of flower colors, they constitute a 
most valuable group of shrubs. The following varieties are 
among the most hardy and very best Lilacs of this class. 
Alphonse La Valle. Double, blue changing to a beautiful 
shade of lavender.
