DECIDUOUS SHRUBS 



Azalea mollis. Japanese Azalea. Blooms before Rho- 

 dodendrons. Thrives in any good soil. While quite hardy, 

 protection should be given in exposed situations. Our 

 seedlings embrace a great variety of colors. Fifteen to 

 twenty-five buds, 12 inches, 50 cts, each, I5 per doz. 



Hydrangea paniculata grandiflora. Very large, 

 showy flowers are borne in panicles or clusters. They are 

 white at first, changing to pink, brown, and, finally, to 

 bronzy green as the season advances. In order to produce 

 largest clusters, the shrubs should be pruned severely every 

 spring. They show to best advantage planted in beds or 

 masses, but can also be grown in tree form. 18 to 24 inches, 

 25 cts. each, $2 per doz., ^15 per 100. 



LIGUSTRUM OVALIFOLIUM (California Privet) . 

 Decidedly the most popular hedge plant, forming beautiful, 

 symmetrical, live fences of great density. We have grown 

 Privet for a good many years, have grown millions of plants, 

 and the longer we grow it the better we like it. Untrimmed, 

 it grows from 8 to 12 feet high; it has attractive, glossy dark 

 green foliage, which is not subject to insect attacks. It will 

 stand pruning to any extent at all seasons. With us it is 

 almost evergreen, holding its old foliage until the new leaves 

 appear. Ornament your grounds with Privet. 



To Plant California Privet, thoroughly work a 

 strip of soil about 5 feet wide. Plow or dig a trench through 

 the middle of this strip, set your plants 6 to 9 inches apart 

 in the trench and fill in with pulverized soil. Dip the roots 

 of each plant in a mud puddle before setting.
