California Privet. 



Of all ornamental hedge plants this is 

 the most popular, and more of it is planted 

 than all others combined. Its foliage is a 

 rich dark green, and is nearly evergreen, 

 remaining on the plant until midwinter. 

 It is of free growth, and succeeds under 

 the most adverse conditions, such as under 

 dense shade of trees, where other plants 

 would not exist. 



To form a dense hedge from the base up 

 the plants should be severely pruned the 

 first two seasons. Plant the one-year-old 

 size 8 inches apart in the row, the larger 

 sizes 10 to 12 inches apart. Per JOO Per IOOO

OSAGE ORANGE. 



This is still used extensively on farms and along highways, but 

 is seldom used in private gardens. It makes a strong and 

 defensive hedge that will turn cattle; should be planted in double 

 rows 6 to 9 inches apart in the row. Strong 2-year-old plants, 

 §1.00 per 100; §7.50 per 1000. 



ROSA RUGOSA (Ramanas Rose). 



Both the red and white-flowering forms of these beautiful 

 Roses are fast becoming popular as hedge plants, their bright, 

 glossy foliage, which appears to be insect-proof, together with 

 the showy, large single flowers, which are followed by bright 

 red fruits, making them particularly desirable plants for the 

 purpose. Strong 2-year-old plants, §20.00 per 100.
