USEFUL 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. These plants are also used 

 for individual lawn specimens. See between the trees in the illustration. 



We can furnish a fence to grow like this California Privet Hedge at 5c. a "running foot." It can be trimmed at any time without injury

 in hot, dry, southern soils. Is never troubled by insects and

R OSE 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. Plant 18 inches apart. 



An excellent Rose hedge is made by training Climbing Roses 

 on a wire fence. Plant them about 4 or 5 feet apart.
