SELECT HEDGE-PLANTS. 
For ornamental hedges, we can recommend almost any of the hardy, compact-growing shrubs as being de- 
sirable. For screens, we have found nothing so useful as the American Arborvitffi, Norway or Hemlock Spruces. 
With careful pruning, these can be kept low and in good shape; but in planting evergreens care must be used not 
to let the roots become exposed. For the division of lawns, the Japan Quince is very desirable; flowers are large 
and showy, scarlet-crimson; foliage a glossy green until late in the season. Should be pruned well every fall. 
For a defensive hedge, for farm purposes and turning stock, we have seen nothing equal to the Osage Orange. 
It is a very vigorous grower, but requires the shears often to keep it in a desirable form. For a division of outer 
fence for small lots, undoubtedly the California Privet is the best. It is almost an evergreen, and grows freely in 
all soils; compact and regular in form, and bears shearing to any extent; being without thorns, it is very easily 
pruned. 
Osage Orange should be planted about 6 inches apart. Privet or other shrubs, about 12 inches; evergreens, 
about 12 or 18 inches, according to size. 
ARBORVITAE. 
American. A rapid grower, and very desirable for an evergreen hedge or ornamental screen. If is not 
adapted for turning stock, and should be used only for dividing a lawn, or hiding unsightly places. Price, 12 to 18 
inches, $4 per 100; 18 to 24 inches, $0 per 100. 
CALIFORNIA PRIVET.’ 
A vigorous, hardy shrub, of fine habit and foliage, nearly evergreen. Grows in almost any soil, and is very 
patient of pruning; makes a desirable ornamental shrub, as well as hedge. 18 in., 10 cts. each, $1 per doz.,$5 per 
100; 2 ft., 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz., $7 per 100; 3 ft., 25 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $10 per 100. 
OSAGE ORANGE. 
The popular hedge-plant, and one of the most desirable. Good stock. 1 year, 50 cts. per 100, $3 per 1,000 ; 
2 years, 75 cts. per 100, $4 per 1,000. 
SPRUCE. 
Norway. A native of Europe. An elegant tree, extremely hardy, of lofty, rapid growth; habit, drooping 
when tree attaius a few years’ growth. One of the most popular evergreens for planting, either as single speci- 
mens or for shelter. One of the best evergreen hedge-plants. 18 to 24 in., $6 per 100; 2 ft., $8 per 100.
