Hedge of California Privet. 
ALTHEA. Rose of Sharon. —Double varieties, all colors, 
2 to 3 feet, 100, $10.00; 3 to 4 feet, 1D0, $15.00. 
HERBERTS THBNBERBI.—Has become popular for pro¬ 
ducing ■ low^ dense hedges. Its abundant small, light 
green leaves, which turn to rich colors in autumn, and 
its wealth of scarlet berries, render it very attractive. 
It is extremely hardy, remains dense and full to 1 the 
ground and requires but little pruning. Transplanted, 
l x /2 to 2 feet, 100, $9.00. 
BERBERIS LOYETTI.—Superior to B. Thunbergi by rea¬ 
son of being of more upright habit and a stronger grower. 
Foliage similar but berries are smaller, even brighter 
in color and are produced in even greater profusion. It 
is destined to be the hedge plant of the future—just 
as California Privet is at present. Transplanted, l l / 2 to 
2 feet, 100', $12.00. 
CALIFORNIA PRIYET (see cut).—Introduced as a hedge 
plant by me in 1873. It has become exceedingly popular 
and is now more largely employed for hedge planting 
than all other plants or shrubs combined. Its rich, dark 
green, glossy foliage, which remains upon the plant until 
after mid-winter, and its rapid, vigorous growth, added to 
the fact that it succeeds everywhere—even in the most 
trying situations and upon all kinds of soil—renders it 
par excellence for hedging. A leaflet on “ITow to Plant 
and Care for a Privet Hedge,” will be mailed free upon 
request. 
The only drawback to growing Privet ITedges-H:he 
time consumed and labor required to keep them properly 
pruned—has now been entirely eliminated by the inven¬ 
tion of the Jersey Pledge Trimmer; notice of which will 
be found elsewhere in the catalog. By it hard labor has 
been turned into play, and with it as much hedge can 
be pruned in an hour as a skilled workman with shears 
can prune in a day and do it better. 
One year, 12 to 18 inches, 100, $2.00; 1,000, $15.00. 
Two years, 1 Yk to 2 feet, 100, $2.50; 1,000, $20.00.

Note.—A ll but the one year grade were cut back at 
one year , old and are very bushy and fine. 
AMOOR PRIYET.—A very superior hedge plant and rap¬ 
idly growing in public favor. It is almost evergreen, and 
the true variety is much hardier than the California 
Privet. It forms a very compact hedge and by many is 
regarded as even prettier than the California Privet. Pt 
also grows well under and in the shade of trees—the 
other does not. The plants, offered were cut back at one 
year and are very bushy. 
Two years, lp 2 to 2 feet, 10'0, $3,50; 1,000, $30.00.

Heavy, 3 to 4 feet, 100, $6.00; .1,000, $50.00. 
ROSA RUGOSA.—The rich green of its foliage, its showy 
flowers and attractive fruit or “hips” unite in rendering 
it desirable. It is also very hardy and its foliage is 
always bright and attractive. • 
Transplanted, 12 to 18 inches, 100', $10.00. 
Transplanted, 134 to 2 feet, 100, $12.00. 
SPIRAEA YAN HOUTTEI.—This shrub forms a refined 
and elegant hedge and when in bloom is a veritable wall 
of flowers; presenting a beautiful picture.
