AUGUSTA, GEORGIA 
Ornamental Hedge Plants 
Nothing can be more desirable for street protection or property divisions than a well-grown and carefully 
trimmed hedge. It may be a little more expensive than a fence in the beginning, but no repairs are required, 
and it grows in beauty from year to year. 
For dividing lines, where a low hedge is desired, nothing is more appropriate than Abelia grandiflora, Ber¬ 
beris Thunbergii, Spiraea Thunbergii or Viburnum Tinus. All of these plants are graceful in form and beautiful 
in foliage and flowers. For formal plantings the Amoor and California Privet, Boxwood and Carolina Cherry 
are unsurpassed. All are evergreen and easily cared for and make a dense and compact growth. 
Note— Not less than 40 plants will be furnished at the price quoted per hundred ; not less than 400 at the 
price quoted per thousand. 
Abelia 
Abelia grandiflora. (A. rujjestris ). This beautiful 
Broad-Leaved Evergreen is becoming a very popular 
hedge plant. As this makes a very bushy growth, 
the plants can be set 18 to 24 inches apart.

autumn to beautiful tones of orange, scarlet and crim¬ 
son. Yellow flowers produced in early April followed 
by red berries which are produced in great profusion 
• and which last the entire winter. Leaves retained for 
a long time. Makes a most beautiful and conspicuous 
low-growing hedge, and one that is specially suited 
for making boundary lines.

BUXUS. Boxwood. 
Buxus sempervirens. Common Tree Box (Home¬

kent at any height desired.

is the variety so extensively used in the old-time 
gardens for edging walks and beds. It is of very 
slow growth, and its ultimate height is from 4 to 5 
feet. The plants should be set from 3 to 4 inches 
apart. We offer a superb lot of home-grown plants.

Ligustrum. Privet. 
Ligustrum amurense. Amoor River Privet. The true 
variety. For the South it is far superior to the Cali¬ 
fornia Privet, which loses its leaves during winter, 
whereas the Amoor River Privet retains its foliage 
throughout the entire year. Since 1866 we have cul¬ 
tivated and disseminated millions of the Amoor River 
Privet, and it is without doubt the most popular 
evergreen hedge plant of the day. It is of rapid 
growth, adapts itself to almost any soil not too arid 
or extremely wet. If properly treated, a hedge may 
be secured in two years after planting.

Note—To save freight, we always cut back Amoor 
River Privet before shipping, unless instructed to the 
contrary. This also avoids the possibility of the 
plants heating, should there be delay in transit. 
L. ovalifolium. California Privet. This is a very 
popular variety for hedges North and West. Leaves 
are larger and growth more erect than L. Amurense.

How to Make a Privet Hedge — Prepare the ground 
by plowing or spading to the proper width and depth. 
Opep the trench 12 inches wide by 15 inches deep. Ap¬ 
ply to this a liberal amount of well-rotted stable ma¬ 
nure, and if this is not available, bone meal or some 
high grade fertilizer. Mix the manure or fertilizer 
thoroughly with the soil. Set the plants in a straight 
line in the trench one foot apart, about one inch deeper 
than they originally stood in the nursery row. Firm 
the earth well about the roots, level off. and then cut 
the plants back to within four inches of the ground. In 
the spring, after the plants have made a growth of six 
or eight inches, cut off one-half of this growth, both 
side and top, and proceed in a like manner with each 
succeeding growth until your hedge has reached the de¬ 
sired height and width. Cultivate well. 
Poncirus 
Poncirus trifoliata. (Citrus trifoliata). Japan Hardy 
Orange; Trifoliate Orange. Far more desirable 
than Osage Orange. It is hardy as far north as New 
Jersey, and if planted in good soil an impenetrable 
hedge can be had three years from planting. In 
early spring, when covered with myriads of white 
flowers, nothing is more attractive; and while not an 
evergreen, the vivid green wood makes it appear 
bright during the winter. Plants may be set one foot 
apart. The plants require two or three annual shear¬ 
ings, the first about the middle of May and the others 
while the young growth is tender. If delayed until 
the wood is hardened, it will require more time and 
increased labor. An excellent hedge-knife can be 
made by taking a 28-inch scythe blade, straightening 
the shank and riveting it to a 14 or 18-inch straight 
wooden handle.

Spiraea Thunbergii. Common Snow Garland. Of dwarf 
habit; branches slender and drooping; foliage very 
narrow, light green, changing to bright orange and 
red in fall; flowers small, white, which appear very 
early in March and last three weeks. A beautiful
