FINE PLANTS 
All of the following shrubs priced below work up 
nicely into hedges. As to which is the best, is just a 
matter of individual taste. 
FOR HEDGES 
LILAC ROTHOMAGENSIS. Is similar to Persian in every 
respect, but the color of the flower which is deep 
rose where the Persian is a light purple. 
BUCKTHORN AND CARAGANA. Can be kept in fine 
trimmed hedge form at any height wanted, from 
two feet up to seven feet. Cotoneaster works out 
nicely up to four feet high. Barberry is at its best 
at from two to three feet, and has the advantage 
of being covered with beautiful red berries all 
winter. 
SPIREA VAN HOUTTEI. Is best untrimmed, wfyich 
allows of its being covered with its beautiful flowers, 
a mass of white during the blooming season. 
PERSIAN LILAC. Makes a graceful hedge, which can 
be trimmed if wanted, but is better left natural so 
as to permit of its loads of bloom in season. 
CHINESE HEDGEWOOD. The new hedging plant. It 
has been found after careful trial over a period of 
several years that Chinese Elm, grown in hedge 
form, makes one of the finest of all hedges. It can 
be kept as low as two feet and trimmed in any shape 
desired. It makes a dense beautiful light green 
hedge, especially desirable because its leaves come 
long before those of other hedge plants in the spring, 
and hang on away late in the fall. Chinese Hedge- 
wood can be held at any height desired and makes 
a hedge that nothing can see or get through. For
