Hedge of Berberis Thunbergii 
Hed^e Plants —Shipped by Express, Collect 
The hedge is a valuable adjunct in embellishing the home grounds. It lends an air of individuality and refine¬ 
ment. Below we list the most popular varieties in present use. 
BERBERIS THUNBERGII 
(Japan Barberry.) 
Where a low, dwarf, deciduous hedge is wanted, 
nothing equals this beautiful Barberry. It is of 
spreading habit, growing extremely thick right from 
the base and requires but little pruning to keep it in 
shape. The leaves are small, light green, and towards 
fall assume rich, brilliant colors, the fruit or berries 
becoming scarlet; absolutely hardy in all parts of the 
country.

LIGUSTRUM. Privet 
LIGUSTRUM, Amurence 
(Amoor River Privet). 
An ornamental hedge plant somewhat similar 
to the famous California Privet, but hardier. A tall- 
growing upright shrub; leaves dark green and lustrous, 
tardily deciduous; nearly evergreen in the South. 
Flowers white, in erect panicles. Splendid for hedges.

L. IBOTA (Japanese Privet). L. One of the hardiest 
and most graceful of all Privets; branches spread¬ 
ing and curving; foliage grayish green; produces 
white, fragrant flowers in June, followed by black 
berries; valuable for specimen, mass planting or 
hedges. 2 to 3 feet, 20 cents; $12.00 per 100. 
3 to 4 feet, 25 cents; $15.00 per 100. 
CALIFORNIA PRIVET 
L. OVALIFOLIUM (California Privet). 
Of all ornamental hedge plants this is the most 
popular and more of it is planted than all others 
combined. Its foliage is a rich, dark green and is 
nearly evergreen, remaining on the plant until 
mid-winter. It is of free growth and succeeds under 
the most adverse conditions, such as under dense shade 
of trees where other plants would not exist. 
To form a dense hedge from the base up the plants 
should be severely pruned the first two seasons. Plant 
the one-year old size 8 inches apart in the row, the 
larger sizes 10 to 12 inches apart.

Ornamental and Flowering Shrubs 
Shipped by Express at Purchaser’s Expense 
It is my aim to produce everything in flowering shrubbery that is useful, hardy and worthy of cultivation 
in our climate. A good shrub collection will present the greatest variety of color throughout the season, both in 
flower and foliage. Even in winter it is attractive in appearance from the gracefulness of its stem and branches, 
and from the color of its bark. When right selections are made it will serve almost as well as evergreens to shut 
out from view fences or other low unsightly objects. 
AMYGDALUS, Almond 
ALMOND FLORE ROSEO PLENO (Double Pink 
Almond). Flowers double, rose-colored. 18 to 24 
inches, 75 cents each. 24 to 30 inches, $1.00 each

BERBERIS ATROPURPUREA (Purple-leaved Bar¬ 
berry). Especially remarkable for its dense, 
upright growth and its brilliant purple foliage and 
fruit. When full grown, plants attain a height of 
4 to 5 feet, but can be kept at any height below this 
by shearing. It is very valuable as a border for walks 
and drives. Splendid for a hedge; also good as single 
specimens on the lawn. Endures partial shade and 
is perfectly hardy.
