THUYA occidentalis (American Arborvitse). 
For screens, hedges or windbreaks tliis is one 
of our best evergreens. Although a very fast 
grower, it can be kept trimmed to any height 
desired and makes a most efficient and beautiful 
hedge both in summer and winter. iS to 24 in., 
$20 per 100; i to j'A ft., fss per 100. 
Thuya compacta (Dwarf Arborvitas). Forms a 
very dense hedge about 3 or 4 feet high. With 
judicious trimming it can be kept any desired 
height. Especially adapted for inclosing ceme- 
tery plots and small lawns. Keeps in good 
form with little care. 9 to 12 in., per 100; 
I to 2 feet, $50 per 100. 
DECIDUOUS 
BERBERIS Thunbergi. Nothing is finer for 
low ornamental hedges. Both leaves and ber- 
ries are bright red in fall, i to ft., $12 per 
100 ; to 2 ft., $16 per 100; z \0 2'A ft., $2^ 
per 100. 
CRATAEGUS Oxyacantha. The Thorn used 
extensively in England for hedge-rows. Bears a 
profusion of white flowers. 2 to 2>^ ft., 25 cts. 
each, $2.50 perdoz.,$i8 per 100. 
FAGUS sylvatica (European Beech). This is 
used for hedges quite as much as the American, 
and it has the additional advantage of being 
more twiggy and of holding dead leaves through- 
out the wint;r. On this account it makes more 
of a screen in the winter than any other decidu- 
ous hedge plant. The Beech should be sheared 
Faeus sylvaticuB, continued 
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. i;o 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 combined. 
I to 2 ft., f 10 per 100; 3 to 4 ft., f25 per 100 ; 
4 to 5 ft., $40 per icq; 5 to 6 ft., jSo per 100. 
LIGUSTRUM Ibota (Japanese Privet). The 
hardiest of all the Privets, and one of the best 
for hedges. Does not grow as high as the Cali- 
fornia Privet, but makes a closer and more com- 
pact hedge, f 12 to f 20 per ico.
