Hedge Plants.

Eelge of Calif or rda Privet. 



ALT HE A. Rose of Sharon. — Double varieties, all 

 colors, 2 to 3 feet, 100, $10.00. 



BERBERIS THUNBERGI.— Has become popular in 

 late years for producing low, dense hedges. Its abun- 

 dant small, light green leaves, which turn to rich colors 

 in autumn, and its wealth of scarlet berries, render it 

 verj- attractive. It is extremely hardy, remains dense 

 and full to the ground and requires but little pruning. 



Two years, 12 to 18 inches, 100, $8.00; 1,000, $70.00. 



Transplanted, 1 1-2 to 2 feet, 100, $10.00; 1,000, 

 $85.00. 



BERBERIS LOVETTI.— Superior to B. Thunbergi 



by reason 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 pro- 

 fusion. It is destined to be the hedge plant of the 

 future — ^just as California Privet is at present. 



Two years, 15 to 18 inches, 100, $10.00; 1,000, 

 $90.00. 



Transplanted, 1 1-2 to 2 feet, 100, $12.00; 1,000, 

 $100.00. 



CALIFORNIA PRIVET. TSee cut).— Introduced as 

 a hedge plant by me in 1873. It has become exceed- 

 ingly popular and is now more largely emplo3'ed 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. 



One year, 12 to 18 inches, 100, $2.50; 1,000, $20.00 



Two years, 1 1-2 to 2 feet, 103, $3.50; 1,000, $30.00. 



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



The two years plants were cut back at one year old, 

 hence are very bushy and fine. 



AMOOR PRIVET (true).— A very superior hedge 

 plant and rapidly 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 Cali- 

 fornia 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, 1 1-2 to 2 feet, 100, $4.00; 1,000, $35.00. 



Two years, 2 to 3 feet, 100, $5.00; 1,000, $45.00. 



ROSA RUGOSA— The richness of its foliage, its 

 showy flowers and attractive fruit or "hips" unite in 

 rendering it desirable. It is also very hardy and its 

 foliage is always bright, attractive and free from insect 

 attack. 



Strong transplanted, 3 years old, 100, $12.00. 

 Heavy plants, 2 to 3 feet, 100, $15.00. 



EVERGREENS FOR HEDGING.

 much used for planting evergreen hedges and screens.

 Strong, 3 to 4 feet, 100, $35.00. 



HEMLOCK SPRUCE.— Xo other tree or shrub pro- 

 duces such a dense and beautiful hedge as this. Also 

 very hardy and of rapid gjowth. 



Transplanted, 1 1-2 to 2 feet, 100, $35.00. 



Bushy, 2 to 3 feet, 100, $50.00.

 My plants (Hardy Perennials) bought of you two 

 years ago proved very fine and I have recommended
