CRAPE-M YRTLE 
Crape- Myrtle 
(Lagerstroemia indica) 
Beautiful large flower heads with crinkled petals, borne 
over a long period in summer. A tall, strong shrub. Colors 
range from bright pink to red and white. Blooms should be 
cut off as they fade, in order to encourage future production. 
Hardy in the South; in the North it needs a sheltered location 
and winter protection. It may be allowed to die back to the 
ground each year; the next summer the bloom will be pro- 
duced on that year’s new growth. Fine for the shrub border 
and for hedges. Does best in full sun. Red, Pink, White.

PERSIAN LILACS 
FRENCH laced 
(Syringa vulgaris) 
The richly fragrant and hardy Lilac has become one 
of the most widely planted of all shrubs. The old-fash- 
ioned Common Lilac has been grown for several hundred 
years, but modern French Hybrids are an improvement 
on it, bearing both single and double flowers in larger 
heads and a wider range of color, as well as a longer 
flowering season. They also begin to bear flowers at a 
much earlier age than the older kinds. Lilacs grow freely 
in almost any good garden soil. They do best in full sun. 
Pruning is necessary from time to time. Since many of 
the French Lilacs are grafted, all suckers produced below 
the point of union must be removed.
