TALL GROWING SHRUBS (continued) 
LILAC, Common. (Syringa Vulgaris) 7 to 8 ft. The old-fash- 
ioned 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, Persian. Please see Rouen Lilac below. 
LILAC, Rouen, Improved Persian. (Syringa Rothamagensis) 
6 to 7 ft. The improved Persian lilac retains the valuable 
characteristics of the Persian with its upright compact habit 
of growth, slender branches and small attractive leaves. The 
outstanding improvement is larger flower and the rich red- 
dish purple color of the blossoms that are produced in pro- 
fusion.

LILAC, Villosa. (Syringa Villosa) 7 to 8 ft. Large growing

THE FRENCH HYBRID LILACS 
These splendid Lilacs are far superior to the common varieties, 
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 blocm 
the first year after planting. Available 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.

of lavender.
