Hedge Plants 



ALTHEl. Rose of Sharon. — Double varieties, all colors, 

 2 to 3 feet, 100, $10.00; 3 to 4 feet, 100, $15.00. 



BEBBEBIS THr>BEBGI.— Has become popular for pro- 

 ducing low, dense hedges. Its abundant small, light 

 gfreen leaves, which turn to rich colors in autumn, and 

 its wealth of scarlet berries, render it very attractive. 

 It is extremeh' hardy, remains . dense and full to the 

 ground and requires but little pruning. Transplanted, 

 IH to 2 feet, 100, $9.00. 



BEBBEBIS LOTETTI.— Superior to B. Thunbergi by rea- 

 son of being of more upright habit and a stronger grower. 

 Foliage similar but berries are smaller, even brighter 

 in color and are produced in even greater profusion. It 

 is destined to be the hedge plant of the future — just 

 as California Privet is at present. Transplanted, 114 to 

 2 feet, 100, $12.00. 



CALIFOBMA PBIVET (see cut).— Introduced as a hedge 

 plant by me in 1873. It has become exceedingly popular 

 and is now more largely employed for hedge planting 

 than all other plants or shrubs combined. Its rich, dark 

 green, glossy foliage, which remains upon the plant until 

 after mid-winter, and its rapid, vigorous growth, added to 

 the fact that it succeeds everywhere — even in the most 

 trying situations and upon all kinds of soil — renders it 

 par excellence for hedging. A leaflet on "How to Plant 

 and Care for a Privet Hedge," will be mailed free upon 

 request. 



The only drawback to growing Privet Hedges — the 

 time consumed and labor required to keep them properly 

 pruned — has now been entirely eliminated by the inven- 

 tion of the Jersey Hedge Trimmer; notice of which will 

 be found elsewhere in the catalog. By it hard labor has 

 been turned into play, and with it as much hedge can 

 be pruned in an hour as a skilled workman with shears 

 can prune in a day and do it better. 



One year, 12 to 18 inches, 100, $2.00; 1,000, $15.00. 



Two years, 1>4 to 2 feet, 100, $2.50; 1,000, $20.00. 



Two years, 2 to 3 feet, 100, $3.00; 1,000, $25.00. 



Three years, 3 to 4 feet, 100, $4.00; 1,000, $35.00. 



Four years, 4 to 5 feet, 100, $6.00; 1,000, $50.00. 



Note. — All but the one year grade were cut back at 

 one year old and are very bushy and fine. 



Hedge of California Privet. 



A3I00B PBIVET. — A very superior hedge plant and rap- 

 idly growing in public favor. It is almost evergreen, and 

 the true variety is much hardier than the California 

 Privet. It forms a very compact hedge and by many is 

 regarded as even prettier than the California Privet. It 

 also grows well under and in the shade of trees — the 

 other does not. The plants offered were cut back at one 

 year and are very bushy. 



Two years, UA to 2 feet, 100, $3,50; 1,000, $30.00. 

 Two years, 2 to 3 feet, 100, $4.00; 1,000, $35.00. 

 Heavy, 3 to 4 feet, 100, S6.00; 1,000. $50.00. 

 BOSA BUGOSA. — The rich green of its foHage, its showy 

 flowers and attractive fruit or "hips" unite in rendering 

 it desirable. It is also very hardy and its foliage is 

 always bright and attractive. 



Transplanted, 12 to 18 inches, 100, $10.00. 

 Transplanted, 1>$ to 2 feet, 100, $12.00. 

 SPIBAEA YA>' HOUTTEI.— This shrub forms a refined 

 and elegant hedge and when in bloom is a veritable wall 

 of flowers; presenting a beautiful picture. 

 Bushy plants, 2 to 3 feet, 100, $10.00. 

 Large plants, 3 to 4 feet, 100, $15.00.

 used for producing evergreen hedges and screens.
