Crimson Rambler; it is similar in habit of growth 

 and form of flowers, perfectly hardy, and flowers in 

 good size clusters. The pearly white flowers con- 

 trast nicely with those of Crimson Rambler, and 

 make a beautiful display when planted with it. 



Yellow Rambler. — Really the only hard yellow 

 climbing rose, and beautiful when in bloom, whether 

 planted by itself or grouped with some other "Ram- 

 blers;" flowers light j'ellow, borne in clusters.

 every respect but color, which in this is clear pink; 

 one of the most attractive of the set.

 class, borne in clusters, full and double; color clear 

 shell pink; fragrant.

 remarkable roses in our collection; a single bush

 son and dark-red. Buds are particularly beautiful, 

 large, pointed and well made. 



Helena Cambier. — Of varying colors, from salmon- 

 rose to coppery rose.

 without an equal, blooming continuously from early

Residence of J. G. Harrison at the time the Nursery was founded. Grove of Norway Maples to the left, 

 hedge of Siberian Arbor Vitae beyond the fence, California Privet of one year growth along- the drive 

 to the right. Fences are not used any more for the yards, as California Privet is preferable and 

 cheaper. 



CALIFORNIA PRIVET. 



Privet we consider the most popular of all hedge plants, and decidedly the finest and best of all for 

 forming an ornamental hedge, its foliage being so abundant as to produce a wall of the deepest richest 

 green. It can almost be called an evergreen, as its foliage is not shed until late in the winter, and then 

 only in an exposed position. We mention some of its merits : It is very hardy, easily and quickly pruned ; 

 it will grow almost anywhere ; can be kept down to 18 inches, or you can let it grow, if a screen is required, 

 to 15 feet high ; you may have it narrow or wide. 



Management. — As a general rule of guidance we offer the following brief hints on their management: 

 After thoroughly working the soil of a strip at least G feet wide and as long as the hedge is to extend, open 

 a trench through the middle of the strip, and with a careful person to hold and range the plants, let one or 

 more assistants thoroughly pulverize and fill in the soil about the roots. Before setting, dip each plant in a 

 thin puddle of mud and place evergreens from 15 to 18 inches apart in the row. Deciduous shrubs, including 

 California Privet, should be but 9 inches apart.
