TAMARIX 
Hispida. Kashgar Tamarix. This is, 
without exception, the best variety of 
Tamarix for this climate, and probably 
the best for the entire country. Its 
feathery silvery green foliage, with long 
panicles of lavender-pink flowers, made 
it one of the most outstanding shrubs. 
It blooms through June and July and 
often up to frost. This should be in¬ 
cluded in every planting. 2-3 ft., 50c; 
3-4 ft., 75c; 4-5 ft., $1.00. 
VIBURNUM 
Dentatum (Arrow-wood). 8-10 feet. 
Bright green, heart-shaped leaves turn¬ 
ing to purple and red. May and June 
flowers of creamy white, in umbel-like 
cymes. The fruits which follow in Oc¬ 
tober are bluish-black. 2-3 ft., $1.00; 
3-4 ft., $1.25 each. 
HEDGE 
There are many plants that can be 
used as a hedge. The Privet hedge 
makes the most formal of any and can 
be kept trimmed almost to any shape 
desired. The shrubs for hedging are of 
a lighter grade than those offered as 
plants for the garden, and where one 
wants a taller growing hedge, the shrubs 
should be used.

grown type, vigorously upright and tall 
growing. The leaves are light green, 
somewhat lustrous, should be planted, 
to make the best effect, in a double row

should be ten inches apart. Plant al¬ 
ternately in the rows so as to give it a 
zigzag effect. Planting this way takes 
24 plants to 10 feet.
