HEDGE Pi^ANTS 



SICUS VITIDAE. Box Tree.— A fine 

 ^rnall evergreen, with pale green leaves. 

 Can be trained in any desirable form by 

 shearing. 25, 50 and 75 cents each. 



LIGUSTRUM AMURENSE. Armoor 

 River Privet. — Our hedges of this desirable 

 evergreen have for years past been noted 

 for their perfect shape and appearance. It 

 far surpasses the variety cultivated in 

 •northern sections under the name of Cali- 

 fornia Privet (Ligustrum ovalifolium), 

 which assumes a dingy green tint in win- 

 ter, whereas the Armoer Privet retains its 

 brighter green color throughout the entire 

 year. And are now to be found in every 



section of the Southern States. It has 

 stood a cold of 20 degrees below zero in 

 western North Carolina, and is equally 

 successful in south Florida, thus withstand- 

 ing both extremes of heat and cold. It is 

 therefore the most desirable of all broad 

 leaved evergreens where a tall hedge is de- 

 sired. Growth very rapid; adapts itself to 

 any soil not too arid or a swamp. If pro- 

 perly treated, a good hedge may be ex- 

 pected in two years after planting. Set 

 plants 12 inches apart in ordinary soil, but 

 in very rich land 18 to 24 inches distance 

 may be given. After plants are set cut 

 back to 8 to 10 inches, in order to make a 

 dense hedge. Strong plants loc. each, 

 $8.00 per 100. Extra strong plants 15c 

 each, $12.00 per 100. 



CITRUS TRIFOLIATA. Japan Hardy 

 Lemun. This is the coming hedge plant 

 for defensive as well as ornamental pur- 

 poses, far more desirable than Osage 

 Orange. It is hardy as far north as New 



i^ucker's Medicol i^ggs and China Neat JSggs.
