EVERGREEN HEDGE PLANTS— Continued. 
Thuya occidentalis (American Arl)or\ itae) . 
For screens, hedges or windbreaks tiiis is one 
of our best evergreens. Altliongli a very fast 
grower, it can lie kept trimmed to any lieiglit 
desired and makes a most efficient and bcanti- 
ful hedge both in summer and winter. IS to 
24 In., $20 per 100 ; 3 to 3% ft., $35 per 100. 
Thuya compacta (Dwarf Arborvit»). Forms a 
very dense lu'dge about 3 or 4 feet high. 
• With judicious trimming it can be kept any 
desired lieiglit. Especially adapted for inclos- 
ing cemetery plots and small lawns. Keeps 
in good form with little care. 0 to 12 in., 
$15 per 100; 1 to 2 ft., $50 per 100. 
DECIDUOUS 
Berberis Thunbergi. Nothing is finer for low 
ornamental hedges. Both leaves and berries 
are bright red in fall. 1 to 1% ft., $12 per 
100; 1% to 2 ft., $10 per 100; 2 to 2V2 ft, 
$25 per 100. 
Crataegus Oxyacantha. The Thorn used exten- 
sively in England for hedge-rows. Bears a 
profusion of white flowers. 2 to 2'^ ft., 25 
cts. each, $2.50 per doz., $18 per 100. 
Fagus sylvatica (European Beech). This is 
used for hedges quite as much as the Ameri- 
can, and it has the additional advantage of 
being more twiggy and of holding dead leaves 
throughout the winter. On this account it 
makes more of a screen in the w-inter than 
any other deciduous hedge plant. The Beech 
should be sheared as often as necessary in 
order to keep it bushy, and when planted it 
should be cut to the ground several times in 
order to make it thick at the bottom. .50 cts. 
to 75 cts. each. 
Hibiscus Syriacus (Althea). These shrubs can 
be sheared into any desired shape, and are 
very showy, either when the entire hedge is 
of one color or when assorted colors are com- 
bined. 1 to 2 ft., $10 per 100; 3 to 4 ft., 
.$25 per 100; 4 to 5 ft., .$40 per 100; 5 to 0 
ft., $00 per 100, 
LIgustrum Ibota (,Tapanese Privet). The har- 
diest of all the Privets, and one of the best 
for hedges. Does not grow as high as the 
California Privet, but makes a closer and 
more compact hedge. $12 to $20 per 100.
