Ornamental Hedges 



An ornamental hedge speaks for itself. It frames the lawn and gives it a back- 

 ground. On the smaller grounds the low hedges are used, while for larger grounds 

 and for screening purposes, the larger growing kinds are used. In most cases they 

 should be planted one foot apart. 



JAPANESE BARBERRY HEDGE— Japanese 

 Barberry. A pretty dwarf species that will 

 fit into almost any planting and will grow 

 in most any place. Handsome foliage cf 

 bright green oval shaped leaves which turn 

 to the most brilliant shades of coppery red 

 and orange in autumn and which remain on 

 until late fall. The slender, graceful little 

 branches are lined with small scarlet berries 

 which hang until well into winter and help 

 give life to the shrubbery border, especially 

 when there is snow on the ground. Used for 

 foundation and group plantings and hedges. 

 (Does not harbor wheat rust.) Height 2 to 3 

 feet. 12 to 15 inches $2 00 per 10; $12.00 per 

 100. 18 to 24 inches, heavy, $2.50 per 10; 

 $16 00 per 100. 2 to 3 ft. $3.00 per 10; $20.00 

 per 100. 



CALIFORNIA PRIVET (L. Ovalifolium)— Cal- 

 ifornia Privet, will give you living fences for 

 less than you can build them of wire. A 

 wire or other fence needs constant attention 

 and will last only a limited number of years 

 a California Privet fence increases in size, 

 strength and effectiveness year after year. 

 Fences of this kind add a wonderful touch 

 of beauty to the home ground and they can 

 be sheared into any shape or size or allowed 

 to grow naturally, making a highly orna- 

 mental border to the grounds or division 

 between fields. A few dollars invested in Cali- 

 fornia Privet will add many times their val- 

 ue to your property, besides making it more 

 beautiful. Plant California Privet grown by 

 us and you will soon realize that live fences 

 are best. 18-24 in. $1.50 per 10; $7.00 per

The Duchess Apple trees received and will 

 say that they are the best lot of 1-yr. trees we 

 have ever bought. In the past we have bought 

 mostly western N. Y. grown trees, about 3.000 

 in all and will say that you have those grower.^ 

 trimmed, both as to qualitv and price. I wiil 

 say that we are able to identify most of the 

 varieties we plant, and I would pronounce these 

 trees strictly true to name.

 trees.
