PRIVET. 



Of all ornamental hedge plants this is the most popular, and 

 more of it is planted than all others combined. Its foliage is a 

 rich dark green, and is nearly evergreen, remaining on the plant 

 until midwinter. It is of free growth, and succeeds under the most 

 adverse conditions, such as under dense shade of trees, where 

 other plants woidd not exist. 



The most advantageous manner of planting is in double rows, 

 the two rows being about 8 inches apart. The smallest size plants 

 here ofTered should be set 10 to 12 inches apart in the row — alter- 

 nating the plants — while the larger sizes may be set 12 to 15 inches 

 apart. In order to secure a dense hedge from the base up, the 

 plants should be severely pruned the first two seasons. 



BERBERIS THU^BERGII. 



Where a low, dwarf, deciduous hedge is wanted, nothing 

 equals this beautiful Barberry. It is of spreading habit, grow- 

 ing extremely thick right from the base, and requires but little 

 pruning to keep it in shape. The leaves are small, light green, 

 and towards fall assume rich, brilliant colors, the fruit or berries 

 becoming scarlet. Strong 2-year-old plants, 15 to 18 inches 

 high, $8.00 per 100. Extra strong, bushy 3-vear-old plants, 

 24 to 30 inches high, $12.00 per 100.

N OSAGE ORANGE. 



This is still used extensively on farms and along highways, but 

 is seldom used in private gardens. It makes a strong and defen- 

 sive hedge that will turn cattle ; should be planted in double rows 

 6 to 9 inches apart in tne row. Strong 2-year-old plants, $1 00 

 per 100; $7.50 per 1000. 



ROSA RUGOSA (Uamanas Rose). 



Both the red and white-flowering forms of these beautiful Ruses 

 are fast becoming popular as hedge plants, their bright, glossy 

 foliage, which appears to be insect -proof, together with the showy, 

 large single flowers, which are followed by bright red fruits, make 

 them particularly desirable plants for the purpose. Strong 2-year- 

 old plants, $20 00 per 100.
