ORNAMENTAL HEDGE PLANTS 
CITRUS trifoliata. Vigor, hardiness, stout thorns, resisting qualities, and ease with which 
it may be confined to a small space, make it a particularly desirable Hedge for the 
Lower South, where it attains its perfection. Whether in leaf or bare of foliage, it is 
always peculiarly attractive because of the vivid green of the bark. Two-year-old 
plants, 75 cents for io, $6 per ioo. 
PRIVET, California. One of the best Hedge plants known. Does not sucker or fill up with 
dead wood ; grows almost anywhere ; makes even, handsome Hedge second year from 
planting. Excellent for dividing-lines, borders, etc. More of an ornamental than a 
defensive Hedge. Nearly an evergreen here, new leaves forcing off the old. Dark, 
glossy green foliage. May be sheared at any season. Specimens 18 to 24 inches, 
75 cents for 10, $5 per 100 ; 12 to 18 inches, 50 cents for 10, f>$ per 100. 
ROSES 
A LL Roses in our list are two years old, field-grown, on their own roots, and 
have been in bloom here in the nursery one season. There is no question 
but that plants on their own roots are the best. Every branch or shoot 
from the roots will produce blooms that are like the Rose you buy from us. 
Budded Roses send up shoots or “suckers” from the wild root, which none but 
an expert can distinguish from the fine variety, and these shoots often drown out 
the fine variety, leaving a poor plant with small, worthless flowers. 
Please do not confound the first-class, No. 1 plants which we offer with the 
little plants for which you pay a small price and have to grow one season yourself 
before you get the blooms you want. 
In the list those Roses marked H. P. are Hybrid Perpetual ; T. , Teas ; H. T. 
Hybrid Teas; P., Polyantha ; M., Moss. Tender varieties — Tea’s and Hybrid 
Teas — will give better results if planted in the spring — February 15 to March 1. 
Prices, except where noted s 35 cents each, S2 for 6, S3 for 10
