USEFUL ORNAMENTAL HEDGES 



Beautiful Hedges add much to the appearance of a property, and are, everj'where, coming into more general use. They loolc 

 better than fences, last longer and cost less; when once established, they require only a little cultivation and pruning each year ta 

 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 indi\"idual lawn specimens. See between the trees in the illustration.

 little pruning. It has fine thorns and small, round, rich green

 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. Plant about 12 inches apart. Prices, 

 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz., postpaid; 2-yr. size, 25 cts. each.
