ALIFORXIA Priv- 

 et has lon^ been 

 recognized as the 

 one very best plant 

 for Hedge pur- 

 poses, as it is re- 

 markable for its beautiful, dark- 

 green, glossy foliage, its quick, 

 strong and SA'Jnmetrical growth, 

 its freedom +rom insects and 

 scale, and its ability to with- 

 stand pruning and trimming in- 

 to any desired shape. 



For many years we have made 

 a specialty of growing Califor- 

 nia Privet for Hedges, and our 

 stock cannot be surpassed any- 

 where. It is strong, thrifty and 

 in the best of shape for trans- 

 planting. We have it in all sizes, 

 from one-year-old plants to 

 large, vigorous bushes which 

 can be used with telling effect 

 in the formation of an immedi- 

 ate hedge. These large plants 

 are the most economical to buy, 

 for with them the years of tedi- 

 ous waiting for the hedge to 

 grow will be avoided. 



The greatest of all hedge plants, California Privet. Our extra 

 large five-year-old plants will form a hedge like this as soon as 

 planted and trimmed. On the house is grown the handsome Bosto n 

 Ivy described elsewhere in this book. 



Our California Privet is not grown by the usual 

 nurseryman's method, but is as carefully propagated 

 as other higher-priced shrubs. By frequent transplant- 

 ing the plants are kept bushy to the ground, and will 

 soon form a splendid hedge. We have an immense sur- 

 plus stock, and have made the prices exceedingly low.

CLEMATIS PANICULATA. Of all the hardy climbing vines grown there is none 

 which surpasses the Clematis paniculata in grace of form and foliage, beauty and fra- 

 grance of its flowers, and its utility as a porch adornment or covering for shade. It 

 blooms in August and September with a myriad of small white flowers covering the en- 

 tire vine as with a mantle, and the flowers are so fragrant that they fill the atmosphere 

 with their delicious perfume. We have a magnificent lot of field plants, 4 and 5 years

 their new growth next spring and soon become a most beautiful adornment to the home.
