HEDGES 
NEW AND BETTER HEDGES 
While we are listing the varieties of plants nsecl 
for Hedge purposes, we highly recommend the use 
of many other Broadleaf Evergreens such as 
Abelia, Wax Ligustrum, Cherry Laurel, etc. See 
under Broadleaf Evergreens, page 3. 
The standard for a tall evergreen hedge is, of 
course, the Japan Ligustrum. 
If a flowering hedge is wanted, Plumbago and 
the various Spireas are very suitable; for a taller 
hedge, Crape Myrtle, using one color only, are fine. 
Even certain kinds of roses lend themselves 
admirably for hedges, but only one kind must 
be used.

California Privet 3 to 8 ft. (L. ovalifolium) —A 
much esteemed hedge plant, particularly in severe 
climates; very strong growing, with bright green, 
medium sized leaves; forms a compact hedge of any

anywhere in the South; the vines are killed by 
frost, but it quickly shoots up in the Spring and 
develops its flowers from May until frost; this is 
one of the most lovely vines.

grass will not succeed; price 35$ each, pot grown. 
WISTERIA 
Many Wisterias are planted that do not bloom 
till they are 15 years old and even older; this is 
because they are seedlings; ours are either layered 
or grafted and often bloom in the nursery row 
the first year.

strongest grower and most prolific bloomer of all 
Wisterias; flowers are blue, pendulous and cover

A fine variety with white flowers; otherwise same 
habit as preceding; 2-yr. plants, 50$.

the most beautiful of all Wisterias, because of the 
extreme length of its lilac flower racemes, which 
sometimes measure over 2 ft.; does not bloom as 
young as W. chinensis; 2-yr. plants $1.00 each. 
W. Multijuga —White; $1.00 each.
