EVERGREENS. 



On account of their increasing demand 

 we give this class of trees and shrubs our 

 special attention. We may say that as

 is more beautiful and adds more comfort 

 than well developed specimens of ever- 

 green trees.

Ligustrum Amurense. Armoor River 

 Privet. — Our hedges of thi:~"- desirable 

 evergreen have for years past been noted 

 for their perfect shape and appearance. 

 It far surpasses tne variety cultivated in 

 Northern sections under the name of 

 California Privet (Ligustrum ovalifoli- 

 um), w^hich assumes a dingy green tint 

 in winter, whereas the Armocr Privet re- 

 tains 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 

 withstanding both extremes of heat and 

 cold. It is therefore the most desirable 

 of all broad leaved evergreens where a 

 tall hedge is desired. Growth very rapid; 

 adapts itself to any soil not too arid or a 

 swamp. If properly treated, a good 

 hedge may be expected in two years 

 after planting. Set plants 12 inches 

 apart. After plants are set cut back one- 

 third of growth in order to make a dense 

 hedge. Strong plants 15c. each, $8.00 

 per 100. Extra strong plants 25c. each, 

 ■^12M per 100. 



Citrus Trifoliata. Japan Hardy Lemon. 

 This is the coming hedge plant for de- 

 fensive as well as ornamental purposes, 

 far more desirable than Osage Orange, 

 It is hardy as far North as New Jersey, 

 and planted in good soil an impenetrable 

 hedge can be had three years from plant 

 ing. Requires but little trimming after 

 the third year. So far it has been free 

 from insect depredations. In early spring 

 when covered with myriads of white 

 flowers nothing is more attractive, and 



Steckler's French Market Lettuce is the Best.
