4* ORNAMENTAL HEDGES & 



Beautiful Hedges add so much to the appearance of a property, and are, everywhere, coming into 

 more general use. They look better than fences, last longer and cost less; when once established, they 

 require only a little cultivation and pruning each year to keep them the desired shape and size. A 

 fence is more trouble, a hedge grows better looking every year. (These plants are also used for in- 

 dividual lawn specimens.) 



Hedge of California Privet 



Most Popular Hedge Plant 



CALIFORNIA PRIVET (Ligustrum Ovalifolium) 



A remarkably vigorous grower, compact and regular in 

 form, with glossy wax-like foliage; a beautiful shade of green. 

 It is by many recognized as the " Ideal Hedge Plant," thrives 

 in all kinds of soils and situations, in sun or shade, around 

 railroads or smoky factories, and for seashore planting it is 

 one of the best things you can get. It is quite hardy, having 

 withstood a temperature of 20 degrees below zero, and is 

 also extensively planted in hot, dry southern soils. Is never 

 troubled by insects and will withstand shearing to any ex- 

 tent, and at all seasons. Plant 6 to 9 inches apart. We 

 have an extensive stock of thrifty, vigorous, well-rooted 

 plants. Price, good strong plants, 10c. each; 3 for 25c; 50 

 for $2.50, delivered.

 chaser paying charges.

Rose Hedges 



are certainly coming to be more and more popular as people 

 learn about the splendid qualities of the Rugosa Roses for 

 this purpose. They make neat, compact, uniform growth 

 and the thick, bushy mass of glossy, crinkled foliage gives a 

 particularly fine appearance. 



They are perfectly hardy in the coldest Winters and are 

 especially valuable because the foliage is never troubled with 

 either insects or disease. 



Our new Hybrid double varieties bloom all Summer. We 

 have the large sizes in quantities, so that by planting these 

 you can get an immediate effect. Plant eighteen inches 

 apart.

All These Are Good 



JAPAN BARBERRY (Berberis Thunbergii) 



Of all the deciduous shrubs we know, we believe this is the 

 most valuable for making a low dwarf hedge. It is of low, 

 regular and compact growth and requires very little pruning. 

 It has fine thorns and small round rich green leaves that 

 change „cqlor in the Autumn to a fiery crimson. The hedge 

 is made still more beautiful by great numbers of pretty 

 drooping yellow flowers which are followed by bright red 

 berries. It is frequently planted singly, and is one of the 

 handsomest flowering shrubs we have. Our stock is the real, 

 rare kind, and remarkably fine in every way. It is made 

 from cuttings and not seedlings. Plant about 12 inches 

 apart. (See illustration, Barberry Hedge, page 35.)
