HEDGED GARDEN OF HARDY PLANTS. — From Country Life. 
Ornamental Hedges. 
Hedges can be used to advantage on all suburban and country places, large or small. Where protection against 
cattle is not needed a well-kept hedge is far more beautiful than the most costly wall or fence. At Newport, the most 
beautiful summer resort in America, hedges are very popular and are used more than both walls and fences. I have made 
arrangements for supplying all the best varieties of hedge plants at extremely low prices. 
TRIMMED HEDGES. 
Hemlock Spruce. This undoubtedly makes the most beautiful 
evergreen hedge that can be grown in this climate. It is 
perfectly hardy, a fine rich green in color, which color it 
retains all through the winter, and no matter how hard it 
is trimmed, the peculiar feathery appearance of its young 
growth always gives it a graceful appearance. Plant 18 to 
24 inches apart, nice young plants 8 to 15 inches high. 
Hemlock Spruce, 12 to 18 inches. 
“ 18 to 24 inches, twice transplanted.. 
Mahonia Aquifolium. This, which isotie of the most beautiful 
evergreen shrubs, makes a splendid hedge. It is covered 
with showy yellow flowers in the spring, but its greatest 
beauty is its foliage, which is fine at all seasons of the year, 
but especially so in the fall and winter when it turns to the 
finest bronze and crimson. It is especially desirable as a 
trimmed or untrimmed hedge. Plant 18 inches apart. I 
offer a splendid stock of plants, 12 to 18 inches high, at less 
than it can be bought for at wholesale. 
Crataegus Pyracantha Lalanrii, (Improved Evergreen Thorn), i 
think the most beautiful hedge I have ever seen in America 
is one of this thorn, on the grounds of Mr. Wintlirop. at 
Newport, R. I. The foliage is dense and of a beautiful 
glossy green, which turns in the winter to a rich bronze. 
In the fall and winter this thorn is covered with small 
bright scarlet berries, which makes it extremely attrac¬ 
tive. Nice stocky plants. 
Crataegus Oxycantha, (English Hawthorn). This is the thorn 
that is used all over England for field and farm hedges. 
It is very attractive, being covered with white sweet 
scented flowers in the spring, and bright scarlet berries in 
r * r ’ the fall and winter,- nice plants, 24 to 48 inches high . 
California Privet. This is the most popular hedge plant in this 
country, which is explained by its handsome appearance, 
rapid growth and low price. A* fine hedge, five feet high, 
can be made with it in three seasons if planted in deep 
rich soil. It should be planted in single rows, 8 to 10 inches 
apart, or alternated in double rows, and the plants set 16 to 
18 inches apart in each row, and the rows 6 inches apart.

UNTRIMMED HEDGES. 
Untrimmed hedges are allowed to grow naturally without pruning, 
and as a rule are not suitable for planting on the boundaries of 
grounds, but can be used for enclosing flowef or vegetable gardens, 
on the edge of terraces and along roads and walks. Sometimes they 
can be used to conceal unsightly but necessary fences. p er IOO 
Berberis Thunbergil, (Japanese Barberry). One of the most 
beautiful shrubs in cultivation either for hedging or gen¬ 
eral purposes. It is of a neat compact growth and never need 
be touched with the shears. The foliage is beautiful at all 
times, but in the fall turns to a most brilliant crimson 
color, but its most attractive feature is its fruit. The plant 
is literally covered with bright scarlet berries all the fall 
and winter. It never grows over about three feet high. If 
a low hedge is desired, it can be used for a boundary one. 
It is fine for the edge of a terrace and along roads and 
walks; as it is quite thorny, boys and cattle will leave it 
alone. Plant 15 to 18 inches apart; small plants. . $ 6 00 
Corchoris Japonica Variegata. This makes one of the daintiest 
little hedges imaginable. The growth is slender and 
graceful, the foliage is of fine form and beautifully varie¬ 
gated, and after the leaves drop in the fall the twigs are a 
bright green color, which makes a hedge of it very 
attractive all winter . 10 00 
Kalmia LatifoUa. (Mountain Laurel). This splendid native 
evergreen shrub makes a beautiful and unique hedge. It 
would be worth growing for its fine evergreen foliage 
alone, but when it is in bloom in June, nothing in the 
world makes a finer floral display. Nice transplanted 
plants 6 to 12 inches. 1500 
Lilacs. The common purple and white liiacs make a desirable 
flowering hedge, but of course a very tall one. I can sup¬ 
ply both colors, nice plants, 1 to 2 feet high ... 8 00 
Altheas, (Rose of Sharon). These make a desirable flowering 
hedge which blooms in August. They should be cut back 
a little, just enough to keep them compact. Nice young 
plants, seedlings . 10 00 
Altheas, best named varieties, strong pl?nts. 13 00 
Crimson Rambler Rose. This remarkably fine climbing rose 
makes a superb hedge if planted in a row, and cut back 
early every spring to about three feet high . 20 00 
Sweet Briar. The popular sweet briar makes an attractive 
hedge and is desirable for planting along a fence. 8 00 
Rose Mad. Plantier. This well known hardy white rose makes 
a fine hedge, and when in full bloom in June nothing can 
be more attractive.; . 18 00
