USEFUL ORNAMENTAL HEDGES 
Beautiful Hedges add much to the appearance of a property, and are, everywhere, coming into more general use. They look 
better than fences, last longer and cost less; when once established, they require only a little cultivation and pruning each year to 
keep them the desired shape and size. A fence is more trouble, a hedge grows better looking every year. These plants are also used 
lor individual lawn specimens. See between the trees in the illustration.

JAPAN BARBERRY ( Berberis Thunbergii) 
Valuable for making a low, dwarf hedge. Requires very 
little pruning. It has fine thorns and small, round, rich green 
leaves that change color in the autumn to a fiery crimson. The 
hedge is made still more beautiful by great numbers of pretty 
drooping yellow flowers which are followed by bright red berries. 
It is frequently planted singly, and is one of the handsomest 
flowering shrubs we have. Plant about 12 inches apart. Prices, 
15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz., postpaid; 2-yr, size, 25 cts. each, 
$2 per doz.; 3-yr. size, 40 cts. each, $2.50 per doz., by express.

ROSE HEDGES 
are certainly coming to be more and more popular as people 
learn about the splendid qualities of the Rugosa Roses for this- 
purpose. They make neat, compact, uniform growth, and the 
thick, bushy mass of glossy, crinkled foliage gives a particularly 
fine appearance. Plant 18 inches apart. 
An excellent Rose Hedge is made by training Climbing Roses 
on a wire fence. Plant them about 4 or 5 feet apart.
