HEDGE PLANTS 



During late years, old-fashioned fences have gone decidedly out of fashion. The first cost 

 of setting out a "live fence," is, in most cases, not nearly so great as that of erecting a cumber- 

 some barrier of dead wood; and the upkeep is much smaller. "Dead" fences need repairing and 

 painting, while "live" ones don't! All, good reasons for setting out more hedge plants. 



And we can help you materialize any wishes in this direction by supplying, at moderate 

 cost, the plants with which to start hedges. At our farms we grow Barberry and Privet by 

 the hundreds of thousands. We can supply various sizes at uniformly reasonable prices. Ask 

 for quantity quotations if you need plants by the thousands!
