Hedge Plants (Continued) 



BOX BARBERRY 



A very dwarf, compact form of Berberis 

 Thunbergii which it equals in ironclad consti- 

 tution. Especially valuable for edging beds in 

 formal gardening, or for forming low hedges 

 anywhere. For edging, plant 4 inches apart; 

 for a low hedge, plant 6 to 9 inches apart. 

 Readily confined to any given space since it 

 stands severe pruning to perfection. 



Doz. 100 1000 



1 year, field grown ^2.00 ^15.00 ^125.00 



2 year, field grown 3.50 25.00 200.00 



ELEAGNUS ANGUSTIFOLIA 

 (Russian Olive Hedging) 



This variety, a native of Northern Asia, was, 

 until a few years ago, regarded as a very rare 

 variety of Ornamental Shrub. It, quite natural- 

 ly, is extremely hardy and appears to thrive in 

 very light, sandy soil, where most varieties of 

 Shrubs would almost surely fail. It is one of 

 our very best varieties for planting in close 

 proximity to the ocean. Covered with silvery 

 foliage, even when not producing its attractive 

 cranberry-like berries, it is indeed an attractive 

 variety. 



Plants, 2 to 3 ft. high, doz., ^3.00; 100, ^20.00. 

 Plants, 3 to 4 ft. high, doz., 3.50; 100, 25.00. 



DWARF BOXWOOD 



Boxwood has been termed "the Antique" of the 

 garden, since it grows to rare old age, improv- 

 ing in shape and outline as it grows older. Plant- 



ing Boxwood is like investing in good bonds — 

 you cannot lose! 



Buxus Suffruticosa — This is of exceedingly slow 

 growth, but becomes very compact and is most 

 attractive. Delights in a partially shaded situa- 

 tion. For edging, plant 3 to 4 inches apart. 

 Extra bushy plants, 4 to 6 in., dozen, ^3.50; 

 100, ^25.00; 6 to 8 in., dozen, ^5.00; 100, ^40.00. 



ALTHEA or Rose of Sharon 



Hibiscus syriacus — The adaptability of Althea as 

 a hedge plant is due to its erect, compact growth 

 and the uniform height of the plants. Especially 

 valuable because it blooms in August, when the 

 flowers cause a hedge of this to be a genuine de- 

 light to the eye. Particularly adapted to city 

 planting, since it seems to stand dust and neglect 

 better than most other shrubs. Separate colors 

 or mixed, 18 to 24 in., dozen, ^2.00; 100, ^15.00. 

 2 to 3 ft., dozen, ^3.00; 100, ^22.00. 



SPIRAEA VAN HOUTTEI 



Eminently suitable for forming fine hedges. A 

 more graceful object than a Spiraea hedge in full 

 bloom is difficult to find. The very decorative 

 foliage makes Spiraea Van Houttei a delight to 

 the eye throughout the growing season, 12 to 

 18 in., dozen, ^2.00; 100, ^15.00. 18 to 24 in., 

 dozen, ^3.00; 100, ^20.00. 2 to 3 ft., dozen, 

 $4.00; 100, $30.00. 



ROSA RUGOSA 



Ideally adapted for forming well-nigh im- 

 penetrable hedges. By severely pruning them 

 every year they may be kept within 

 any desired limit of height, besides 

 blooming more freely, 15 to 18 

 in., dozen, $3.00; 100, $20.00. 18 

 to 24 in., dozen, $4.00; 100, $30.00.
