Hydrangea paniculata grandiflora makes a most attract- 

 ive hedge, flowering in summer 



Paniculata grandiflora. 4 to 5 feet. The most 

 beautiful shrub of midsummer and early fall. 

 Covered from August to October with great white 

 blooms, often six inches across, changing finally 

 to pink and purple. It is beautiful when massed, 

 graceful as a specimen, and showy and permanent 

 in a hedge, set two feet apart (See illustration 

 above). It may be grown in any form desired 

 — as a tree, a tall, spreading shrub, or a dwarf 

 bedding plant. It thrives in sunlight anywhere. 

 My bushy plants are propagated only from 

 perfect, free-flowering specimens, and will bloom 

 this year.

 Excellent for foreground planting.

LIGUSTRUM. Privet. 



Privet is the most popular of shrubs for trimmed ■ 

 hedges. Its dark, glossy foliage remains fresh 

 until winter; it grows with surprising rapidity, 

 and it may be trimmed to any shape desired. Set 

 the plants one foot apart; if a very dense, thick 

 hedge is desired, plant a double row, each a foot 

 apart, breaking joints. My privet is of proved 

 hardiness, stocky and extra bushy. It costs more 

 than skimpy stock, but it is worth all it costs. 



Ibota. The iron-clad privet that endures most 

 severe winters. Hardy in far north. Has dark, 



My hardy Ibota privet produces thick hedges of erect 

 and vigorous growth 



lustrous leaves, 2 inches long, graceful, erect 

 branches, and fragrant white flowers in clusters.

 2 to 3 feet, extra bushy $ .35 $3.00 $18.00 $150. 



Regelianum. Regel's or Prostrate Privet. 4 to 

 6 feet. A variety of Ibota, with lower branches 

 arching to the ground and upper branches drooping 

 gracefully like those of Japanese barberry, making 

 an informal hedge as wide as it is tall. My Regel's 

 Privet is grown from cuttings — not seed — and is 

 true to type. For hedges, set 1 foot apart. 



Each 10 100 



2 to 3 feet ... $ .40 .. $3.50 $30.00 



Ovalifolium. California Privet. Useful where 

 it is hardy, but winterkills regularly in my nursery. 



1 do not grow it, but can supply 2 to 3 foot plants 

 at $10 per 100, $90 per 1,000, and 3 to 4 foot at $12 

 per 100, $100 per 1,000. 



LONICERA. Bush Honeysuckle. 



This fine shrub has graced American lawns for 

 many years, and it deserves a place in every garden. 

 Handsome in flower, showy in fruit, and ornamental 

 in its bluish green foliage, it has everything to 

 commend it. As a specimen it is bushy and sym- 

 metrical. As a hedge or screen, set two feet apart, 

 it is magnificent. In mass plantings it is charming. 

 The Bush Honeysuckles are covered in early 

 June with pink or white flowers, rendering the 

 entire bush one huge bouquet, wonderfully fra- 

 grant. The flowers are followed by showy red 

 fruits, which prolong the season of beauty for 

 weeks. All the varieties thrive in sun or shade and 

 increase in beauty each year. I have tested many 

 kinds and offer these as the choicest. 



Tatarica. Pink. Tartarian Honeysuckle. 6 to 

 8 feet. Mentioned first because of its great merit. 

 Flowers delicate blush pink. (Illustration above) . 



Bella albida. 6 to 8 feet. Pure white flowers 

 in late May and a profusion of scarlet fruits. The 

 finest white variety, famed for its dark green foliage. 



Grandiflora. Pink-flowered Honeysuckle. 6 

 feet. Flowers large, bright pink, striped with 

 white. Vigorous, of erect growth. 



Morrowi. 6 feet. A vigorous shrub of irregular 

 growth and drooping habit. Flowers yellow- 

 ish-white, followed by large crimson fruits.

4 to 5 feet, specimens .75 . 6.50 . 60.00 



PHILADELPHIA. Syringa. 



Like the Honeysuckle, the Syringa is an old 

 favorite. It never fails to furnish a profusion of 

 snow white, sweet-scented four-petaled flowers, 

 which clothe the branches for nearly their entire 

 length. All varieties flower in June, following 

 the DierviUas. These are most desirable: 



Coronarius. Garland's Syringa. 8 to 10 feet. 

 Noted for the rich fragrance of its blooms (illus- 

 trated to right ) . One of the first to flower. Of 

 sturdy, upright growth and the best for screens. 



Grandiflorus. 6 to 8 feet. Flowers are un- 

 usually large and showy. Branches droop. 



Foliis aureus. Golden-leaved Syringa. 3 to 4 

 feet. A dwarf, golden leaved variety useful be- 

 cause of its foliage. 18 to 24 inch, 50 cents each. 



Lemoinei. 4 to 5 feet. Flowers creamy white, 

 small and fragrant, borne in great profusion.
