 This should not be. In growing Privet we are not after height, but bushv plants branche,! fmm thf c.?r^^^^ 

 Privet we coasider the most popular of all hedge plants, and decidedly the finest and £t of aU fo^ fo^^^^ 



It IS very hardy. Produces a hedge at once, if desired, instead of in two or three vear^ «^ with 

 Orang.^ and many others. Easily and quickly pruned, and it is a pleasureT as 1 herl are no thorn« WJU

HOLLY. Ilex. 



American (Opaca) — Foliage like that of the English 

 Holly except in being of a lighter color. Fruit 

 deep crimson, very showy, and valuable forChrist- 

 mas decoration. A rare but very hardy and desir- 

 able shrub. $1. 



LAUREL. Kalmia. 



Mountain (Latifolia) — Broad, glossy green, shining 

 foliage. Flowers in large, showy clusters in June, 

 of elegant shape and most beautifully colored'. 

 Few broad-leaved evergreens are as beautiful in 

 foliage, and none can excel the beauty and delicate 

 form of its exquisite flowers, so wonderfully shaped 

 and ornamented with such elegant shades of color. 

 A native, but nevertheless one of the finest orna- 

 mental shrubs in existence. Fine as a single lawn 

 plant or for associating with Rhododendrons or 

 other shrubbery. 35 cts., 50 cts, and 75 cts. 



Mahonia Aquifolia -3 ft. May. A well-known bush, 

 of the greatest value to give a surface of green 

 foliage in winter. Its large, spiny leaves, whick 

 turn scarlet in fall, are much like those of the 

 famous English holly, and its bright yellow flowers 

 m May are very eff'ective. Good in shady spots. 

 25 cts., 50 cts. and 75 cts. 



RHODODENDRONS. 



These magnificent shrubs are now generally ad- 

 mitted to be the finest of all hardy plants used for 

 ornamental purposes. We recommend them for 

 planting wherever fine shrubs are wanted. They 

 usually succeed best in partially shaded situations- 

 mulching is always advisable, and in exposed 

 locations the protection of a few evergreen boughs 

 suflicient to keep off the sun and wind in winter, is 

 often advantageous. Tbe broad, evergreen foliage 

 with its glossy richness, would alone entitle it to the 

 first rank, but when crowned in June with many 

 clusters of flowers, each cluster large enough for a 

 bouquet, and each variety having its own color 

 white, blue, purple, delicate shell, cherry, lilac and' 

 crimson, the term superb fitly describes its ap- 

 pearance. ^
