HARDY ORNAMENTAL HEDGE PLANTS 



Beautify your surroundings! Remove the unsightly 

 fence; enhance the value of your property by planting a 

 Hedge. — Nothing can be more beautiful than ornamental 

 hedges, well kept and pruned, to serve as a boundary 

 line between neighbors, or as a di\-ision between the lawn 

 and garden, or to hide unsightly' places. Beautiful Hed- 

 ges add so much to the appearance of a property, and 

 are, everj'where, coming into more general use. They 

 look better than fences, last longer and cost less; when 

 once established, they require onl}' a little cultivation and 

 pruning each year to keep them the desired shape and 

 size. A fence is more trouble, a hedge grows better look- 

 ing every year, (^hese plants are also used for individ- 

 ual lawn specimens.) 



JAPANESE BARBERRY (Berberis Thunbergii) 



This is the most valuable for making a low dwarf hedge. It is 

 of low, regular and compact growth and requires very little pruning. 

 It has fine thorns and small round rich green leaves that change col- 

 or in the Autumn to a fiery crimson. The hedge is made still more 

 beautiful by great numbers of pretty drooping j'ellow flowers which 

 are followed by bright red berries. It is frequently planted singly, 

 and is one of the handsomest flowering shrubs we have. Strong 

 plants, postpaid, each, 10c. ; doz. $1.00. Prices by express at buyer's 

 expense, select plants 12 to 14 in. high $6.00 per 100, 14 to 16 in. high 

 $8.00 per 100. 



AMOOR RIVER PRIVET (A^ufens?) 



A remarkably vigorous grower, compact and regular in form, 

 with glossy wax-like foliage; a beautiful shade of green. It is by 

 many recognized as the "Ideal Hedge Plant." thrives in all kinds of 

 soils and situations, in sun or shade, around railroads or smoky fac- 

 tories, and for seashore planting it is one of the best things you can 

 get. It is quite hardy, and is also extensively planted in hot, dry 

 southern soils. Is never troubled by insects and will withstand 

 shearing to any extent, and at all seasons. We have an extensive 

 stock of thrifty, vigorous, well rooted plants. Price, good strong 

 plants, postpaid, each, I Sc.; doz. $1.50. Prices by express at buyer's 

 expense, select plants 15 to 18 in. high $7.50 per 100, 18 to 24 in. high 

 $10.00 per 100. 



CALIFORNIA PRIVET (Ligustrum OvalifoUum) 



This is one of the most popular hedge plants, grows very fast, 

 bushy, compact and very hardy. For groups and specimens it is 

 equally pretty, and its shining leaves give it value for porch and ter- 

 race decoration when grown in standard form. Can be sheared to 

 any desired shape. Price, good strong plants, postpaid, each, lOc. ; 

 doz. $1.00. Prices by express at buyer's expense, select plants 15 to 

 18 in. high $3.50 per 100, 18 to 24 in. high $5.00 per 100. 



IBOTA PRIVET nZT) 



A valuable hardy Privet for the Western and Northern states. It 

 is almost evergreen and grows freely in all soils. Compact and reg- 

 ular in form, and bears shearing to any extent. Flowers white and 

 fragrant; leaves long and shiny. A charming shrub for hedges or 

 specimens on the lawn. Price good strong plants, postpaid, each, 15c.; 

 doz. $1.25. Prices by express at buyer's expense, select plants 15 to 

 18 in. high $6.00 per lOO, 18 to 24 in. high $7.50 per 100. 



BUCKTHORN (Rhamnus Catharticus) 



We consider Buckthorn the best and hardiest hedge plant for the 

 Northwest and extreme colder sections of the country. It stands 

 the coldest winters without a particle of injury, commences growth 

 very early in the spring. The dark foliage-masses of this dense, 

 twiggy bush are relieved by masses of attractive white flowers in 

 June and July. They are followed by showy black fruits. Prices by 

 express only at buyer's expense, select strong plants 18 to 20 In. high 

 $7.50 per 100, 20 to 24 in. high $10.00 per 100. 



JAPANESE ROSE HEDGES {%IT) 



Roses are coming to be more and more popular as people learn 

 about the splendid qualities of the Regcsa or Japanese Roses for this 

 purpose. They make neat, compact, uniform growth and the thick, 

 bushy mass of glossy, crinkled foliage gives a particularly fine ap- 

 pearance. 



They are perfectly hardy in the coldest Winters and are especial- 

 ly valuable because the foliage is never troubled with either msects 

 or disease. Our new Hybrid varieties, Agnes Emily Carman and Sir 

 Thos. Lipton, bloom all summer, (see page 130 for full description). 

 Price by express at buyer's expense $3.00 per doz. for strong 2 yr. old 

 plants.
