Reel’s Privet Hedge, Slightly Trimmed. 
The Best Hedges 
Amoor River Privet 
A more slender grower than the common Privet. Hardier 
than the California while the foliage is finer and of a lighter 
green, and retains better color during the winter. It makes 
a more satisfactory hedge than the California, and should be 
more extensively planted. We offer the true variety. The 
Privet generally sold in the South for Amoor River is Ligus- 
trum chinense, and is not hardy in the north. 2-3 feet, 
$4.00 per 12; $30 per 100. 
Regel’s Privet 
Hegel’s Privet, Ligustrum Regelianum, is not only the best 
Privet, but is also one of the very best shrubs for many 
purposes that we know of. Is perfectly hardy, of most 
beautiful, pendulous habit and splendid foliage. It is of 
vigorous growth and will thrive in either sun or shade. In 
good soil it will attain a height of 8 to 10 feet, and spread 
almost as great. It is fine as a specimen or for planting 
in masses in shrubbery, but its greatest value is for hedging. 
As a hedge-plant it is unsurpassed. It can be kept closely 
trimmed or trimmed but little, when it will preserve its 
natural drooping character which is most graceful and 
beautiful. A partially trimmed hedge of this Privet on the 
grounds of Mr. Clarence Byrnes, Sewickly, Pa., we think 
one of the handsomest hedges we have ever seen. On ac¬ 
count of its spreading habit this Privet makes a hedge solid 
to the ground whether it is sheared hard or not. We can 
not understand why people continue to plant California 
Privet, which is inferior in every respect and not reliably 
hardy. Regel’s Privet is somewhat higher priced, but on 
account of its spreading habit it requires only half the quan¬ 
tity that it does of the California Privet to plant a hedge. 
For a hedge, plant Regel’s Privet 18 inches apart in a 
single row. $5 per 12; $40 per 100. 
Japanese Barberry 
We are frequently asked to recommend the best shrub 
for hedge planting, and, after many years’ experience, we 
are decidedly of the opinion that the Japanese Barberry, 
Berberis Thunbergii, is the best hedge-plant in existence, 
and either as an ornamental, defensive, trimmed or untrim¬ 
med hedge, it is unsurpassed. As an ornamental hedge it 
is beautiful throughout the year, its abundant crop of bright 
red berries making it even more attractive in the winter than 
in the summer. Its compact growth and thorny branches 
make a defensive hedge that will turn cattle after five years’ 
growth. As an untrimmed hedge, it requires no attention 
except an occasional cutting of a few straggling branches. 
The natural growth is so dense and even that it forms a per¬ 
fect hedge without shearing, but if a formal hedge is de¬ 
sired, by shearing, it can he made as even as a stone wall. 
The Berberis is absolutely hardy, of the easiest culture, 
and will grow in any soil or situation. It will stand consid¬ 
erable shade and can be grown under trees if not planted 
too close to the trunks. It is of slow, compact growth, 
but will eventually attain a height of 5 or 6 feet. It is one 
of the very bqst of shrubs for general planting. For a 
hedge, plant a single row, 18 inches apart in the row. We 
have a very large stock of fine plants. 18-24 inch plants, 
$5 per 12; $38 per 100.
