HEDGE PLANTS. 
SICUS VITIDZ.—Box Tree.—A_ fine 
small evergreen, with pale green leaves. 
Can be trained in any desirable form by 
shearing. 25c., 50c. and 75c. each. 
LIGUSTRUM AMURBRENSE.—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 rivet (Ligustrum Ovalifolium), 
which assumes a dingy green tint in win- 
ter, whereas the Armoor Privet retains 
its brighter green color throughout the en- 
tire 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  with- 
standing 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 2% 
to 3 feet 10c. each, $8.00 per 100. Extra 
strong plants 15c. each, $12.00 per 100. 
CITRUS TRIFOLIATA. This is the 
hardiest known variety of the Citrus 
family. Green bark and numerous stout 
branches armed with strong, sharp thorns. 
Very valuable as a stock for citrus trees 
of different kinds. White, fragrant flowers 
resemble those of true orange. HExcellent 
for hedge for defensive as well as. orna- 
mental purposes. Fruit, golden yellow, as 
large aS a walnut. It is deciduous, grows 
well in the open ground as far north as 
Washington, D. C., and withstands tem- 
peratures of 15 degrees below zero and 
lower. 
It has become of great importance as a 
stock for citrus trees of all kinds. Vari- 
eties budded on it are made hardier be- 
cause of its dormant and hardy character, 
and the fruit is of exceedingly fine quality, 
ripening two or three weeks earlier than if 
budded on other. stocks. It has been 
claimed that it dwarfs the trees budded 
upon it, but the tests of years in our test 
groves have not proven this to be so, ex- 
cept in the case of a few varieties. For 
the Satsuma orange, it is the only stock 
to use. 
Citrus Trifoliata is adapted for planting 
on alluvial lands, clay lands, soils under- 
laid with clay and those which naturally 
contain plenty of moisture or to which 
water can be applied by irrigation. It 
should not be planted on high, dry, sandy 
lands lacking in moisture. On such soils 
it is a failure. Seedlings can be used as a 
hedge, and it forms an impenetrable bar- 
We strongly advise shipping by Express whenever practicable; this will enable us to 
send much stronger plants and guarantee safer delivery.
