Hedges, Bordering Plants and Windbreaks 
We are listing material for hedge plants, etc., that we heart¬ 
ily recommend, and our assortment should take care of almost 
any situation, where such stock is in demand, although you 
will find the grades are somewhat lighter than our regular 
grades. There can be no doubt as to the results. 
Many homes for the past few years have partially planted 
their grounds and we know of no better way to hasten the 
job along than to plant necessary hedges and windbreaks. 
The hedge becomes a part of the general planting and often 
eliminates generally expensive fences, screens unsight'y build¬ 
ings and when allowed to become a windbreak protects the 
home in many ways as well as a protection to the more tender 
plants that are not so hardy. 
You will find that our prices together with liberal grades 
will meet with the approval of the most critical anJ we solicit 
your patronage on this basis.

ABELIA gfrandiflora. Evergreen. Few shrubs are of 
greater value than the Abelias for planting at house foun¬ 
dations, for specimens about the yard, or grouped in corners 
or curbs of walks and drives. The dainty blush-white flow¬ 
ers come in late May or June and continue until frost. 
While not “evergreen” the rich green foliage has a special 
charm, as it remains most of the year. p er jq p er ^qq

HEMLOCK. Evergreen. The best evergreen in heavy shade, 
both beautiful and denendable wherever used. Its refined 
foliage is lacy, close-set and darkly lustrous, in rather flat 
fronds which droop gracefully. Although capable of great 
height, it is best known as a moderate grower adapted to 
severe pruning; used at corner, or as foundation screens ; 
or in formally sheared high hedges. p er jq p er pjO

BOXWOOD (Buxus sempervirens). As a hedge it gives 
character to every place; in an informal group it has no 
rivals ; it may be clipped or trained to pyramid form, globe 
shapes, or allowed to grow naturally. Box is used freely in 
window-boxes, urns, and for garden edgings. They should 
be planted in good soil and fed with Driconure or cow- 
manure. Cultivate lightly and do not disturb the roots.

AMERICAN ARB OR-VITAE. Evergreen. One of the 
most popular evergreens because it grows well under ad¬ 
verse conditions, and as a specimen or hedge plant it is 
very attractive. It is inclined to be conical in growth, and 
while it is not as green during the winter as some of the 
other varieties, it is one of the most popular because of its 
many good qualities. p er jq p er iqo

LOMBARDY FOFLAR. A tall, shaftlike column of a tree 
that grows quickly, like all Poplars, and often reaches 80 
to 100 feet in height. The Lombardy Poplar is not for shade, 
but for ornament, making a fine effect when planted along 
driveways, and when planted close together the trees make 
a thick, very high screen. Branched always from the ground

spiny tree with spreading branches; rather large fernlike 
leaves of bright green which change to yellow in fall. Flow¬ 
ers are inconspicuous, but the succeeding orange-like fruits 
are attractive. It is chiefly utilized as a close, thorny, stock¬ 
turning hedge plant and allowed to grow fairly tall.

RUSSIAN MULBERRY. This makes a round-headed tree, 
quick of growth and with profuse foliage. It is wonderfully 
productive of fruit and for anyone wishing to attract birds, 
it cannot be surpassed. If planted in chicken-runs it will 
produce fruit for several months. This fruit is considerably 
smaller than our native variety but the tree bears so pro¬ 
fusely that it is visible for a considerable distance.

CARPINUS caroliniana (American Hornbeam). This 
attractive, slow-growing tree deserves wider planting. In 
foliage it resembles the native beech but is much more 
compact and graceful in habit of growth. The terminal 
growth has a reddish cast, and foliage colors scarlet to 
orange-yellow in the fall. Fine where a small, compact 
specimen is wanted. p e r 10 Per 100
