Ye ORNAMENTAL HEDGES 
- Beautiful Hedges add 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.

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 18 inches apart.

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 color 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. 
PRICES, 15c. each; $1.25 per doz., postpaid.
