HEDGE PLANTS. 



CALIFORNIA 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 would not exist. 



The most advantageous manner of planting is in double rows, 

 the two rows being about 8 inches apart. The two smaller 

 sizes of plants here offered should be set 10 to 12 inches apart 

 in the row ; — alternating the plants — while the larger sizes may 

 'be set from 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 THUNBERGII. 



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 the rich, brilliant colors, the fruit or 

 berries becoming scarlet. Strong, bushy 3-year-old plants, 24 

 inches high, $15.00 per 100. 



OSAGE ORANGE. 



This is still used extensively on farms and along highways, 

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

 defensive hedge that will turn cattle ; should be planted in double 

 rows 6 to 9 inches apart in the row. Strong 2-year-old plants, 

 $1.00 per 100; $7.50 per 1000. 



ALTHEA (R«>se of Sharon). 



Strong, bushy plants, 18 to 24 inches high, in choice variety, 

 $12.00 per 100. 



PYRUS JAPONICUS. 



The Japan Quince, or Fire Bush, is one of the oldest orna- 

 mental hedge plants and still used extensively. 18 to 24 inches 

 high, $10.00 per 100; $75.00 per 1000.
