Citrus Trifoliata. Japan Hardy Lemon 

 — This is the coming hedge plant for defen-

 more desirable than Osage Orange. It is 

 hardy as far north as New Jersey, and if

 can be had three years from planting. Re- 

 quires but little trimming after the third 

 year. So far it has been free from insect 

 depredations. In early spring, when cover- 

 ed with myriads of white flowers nothing 

 is more attractive, and while not an ever- 

 green, the vivid green wood makes it ap- 

 pear bright during the winter. Plants may 

 be set 2 feet apart. Prices, ioe. each; $4 00
