Hydrangea paniculata grandiflora in our Nursery. 1-year plants in foreground. See page 29 
ABELIA grandiflora (see page 6) is one of 
the handsomest of the Abelias and also im¬ 
portant because of its long blooming season. 
It is a bushy, branching shrub 4 to 5 feet 
high and as broad, with slender, graceful 
branches and shiny, dark green foliage 
which is half-evergreen, as it persists in 
protected locations. The flowers are white, 
tinted with pink. Each Doz.

BERBERIS Thunbergi. The Japanese Bar¬ 
berry. As stated on page 28, it makes a fine 
lawn specimen when allowed to grow natur¬ 
ally, but it is as a hedge-plant that it is best 
known. Plant in good soil and as soon as 
the plants start to grow cut them down with¬ 
in a few inches of the ground, so it will be 
thick at the bottom. 10 100

B. Thunbergi atropurpurea (see page 28), 
the red-leaved variety of the above, makes 
just as good a hedge as the type and has 
the added value of color. The foliage is a 
dull red throughout the season provided it 
is in full sun. For a shady place use the 
green variety. 10 10

CITRUS trifoliata (Poncirus trifoliata ) 
The Trifoliate Orange blooms in spring on 
bare branches, the white flowers being 
nearly 2 inches across and opening flat. 
The small oranges are aromatic. This

hardy north. Each 10 100

Hedge-Plants 
CYDONIA japonica. (See page 24.) The 
Japanese Quince is one of the first shrubs 
to bloom in the spring and is one of the 
most spectacular when covered with its 
masses of dazzling scarlet flowers. The 
little yellow quinces are spicily fragrant. 
Makes a fine hedge with its spreading, 
spiny branches and glossy leaves. Each

ILEX crenata rotundifolia. (See page 7.) 
A round-leaved variety of the Japanese 
Holly which has dark lustrous green foliage 
much like boxwood. It is perfectly hardy 
as far north as Washington, and only loses 
the tips around New York and southern 
New England. In a hedge this is not im¬ 
portant, as the new growth would be kept 
sheared anyway. Makes a dense and at¬ 
tractive hedge. Each

I. opaca. (See page 8.) The American 
Holly makes a beautiful hedge with its spiny 
angular leaves and brilliant red berries. 
When sheared for hedge purposes it be¬ 
comes very dense, making one of the most 
desirable of the evergreen hedges. Each

I. vomitoria. Yaupon. (See page 8.) This 
native evergreen is another good hedge- 
plant. When sheared it makes dense growth 
and being fine-leaved stands shearing. If not 
sheared too close, it will bloom and pro¬ 
duce a nice crop of red berries.

LIGUSTRUM amurense. The Amoor 
Privet is one of the hardiest of these popu¬ 
lar shrubs, and is a tall-growing variety, 
with dark green, lustrous foliage. It is 
amenable to the shears and is becoming 
more and more popular every year, with¬ 
standing severe winters much better than 
the more familiar California Privet.

L. lucidum. A broad-leaved evergreen shrub 
with dark, glossy green foliage and large 
panicles of white flowers, followed by great 
bunches of black berries which the birds 
relish. As a hedge-plant it has great beauty 
and is desirable for the South but is not 
reliably hardy north of Washington.

partially evergreen variety with spreading 
branches forming a dense bush. As a shrub 
this variety is one of the most graceful of 
all the Privets. Makes an excellent dense 
hedge. Each 100 1000

PRUNUS Laurocerasus caroliniana. The 
Carolina Cherry Laurel is one of our hand¬ 
somest native evergreens, with glossy dark 
green, oval-like foliage. It makes an excel¬ 
lent hedge and if not trimmed too close 
will bear a crop of creamy white flowers 
followed by black fruit. It is naturally 
upright in growth. 1 4 to 2 ft., 40 cts. each.
