California Privet 



A vigorous-growing hedge, of fine habit, thick, glossy, nearly evergreen 

 leaves. Of all ornamental hedge-plants, this is the most highly prized. If cut 

 to the ground one or two years after planting, it makes a very thick hedge 

 right from the bottom, sending up many strong shoots. The leaves are a rich 

 green, and will remain on the plants nearly all winter, and if they are a little 

 sheltered they will keep green almost all winter. This is especially the case 

 if the hedge has attained some age and has frequently been trimmed. Though 

 it is a very strong grower, it can be kept to a low size by frequent trimming. 

 Where a close, compact hedge is required I recommend California Privet. 

 Should be planted about eight to ten inches apart to give best results. Prices

Barberry Thunbergii 



A low, dense shrub with bright green leaves, assuming beautiful tints of 

 crimson, scarlet and orange in the autumn, and with brilliant red berries which 

 persist throughout the winter. Its low, thick growth makes it a very desirable 

 hedge plant, and as it withstands any amount of trimming, is used extensively 

 for this purpose; it is also used for massing and for specimen planting. Its 

 extreme hardiness makes this a most valuable plant for the North.
