HEDGE  OF  CALIFORNIA  PRIVET,  TWO  YEARS  AFTER  BEING  PLANTED  BY  US 
FAGUS  sylvatica.  European  Beech.  If  left  un- 
trimmed  this  becomes  a  large  tree,  but  may  be 
easily  trained  into  a  tall,  hedge  or  screen. 
The  stout  twigs  grow  so  tightly  together  that 
they  soon  form  a  thick,  impenetrable  wall.  When 
the  dark  green  foliage  dies  in  the  fall  it  remains 
until  spring,  and  thus  makes  this  tree  serve  ad- 
mirably as  a  constant  screen  against  unsightly 
objects.  Doz.  100*

HIBISCUS  Syriacus.  Altheas.  These  make 
very  desirable  flowering  hedges.  They  are  robust 
growers  and  bloom  abundantly  at  the  close  of 
July  and  last  for  4  or  5  weeks,  if  trimmed  in 
winter  to  increase  the  new  growth  of  flowering 
wood.  We  offer  a  number  of  varieties  on  page  48. 
The  unnamed  kinds  are  generally  preferred  for

doz.,  $15  per  100,  $120  per  1,000. 
L.  Ibota,  var.  Regelianum.  A  handsome  variety 
of  good  habit,  with  slender  branches  that  droop 
preceptibly  at  the  ends.  It  is  more  hardy  than 
the  California  Privet,  more  graceful,  and  gives 
promise  of  being  an  equally  satisfactory  hedge 
plant.

tion of  it  is  scarcely  necessary.  It  is  a  rapid 
grower  under  all  conditions,  has  handsome  glossy 
foliage  that  lasts  well  into  winter  and  withstands
