your plants in from 4 to 
6 feet apart.

And Our Famous 
Persian Lilac Hedge 
If you are planting few- 
er than 10, we advise all 
plants to be the same 
color, either light or deep 
pink. For a long hedge, 
the mixed colors are at- 
tractive.

Rothomagensis Lilacs Commonly Called 
PERSIAN LILACS 
Good for All Sections 
of the Country 
The above illustration is a picture of our Persian Hedge grow- 
ing 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. | 
The plants are absolutely hardy and we believe they will out- 
live the person who plants them. 
The Persian Liac 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 grow- 
ing such things from 100 to 200 miles further north than they 
otherwise could be grown. 

After our 81 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.
