Amoor River Privet Hedge 
Ornamental Hedge Plants 
Cape Jasmine 
12 to 15 inches, from 4-inch pots, $7.50 for 50, #15 
per 100; 3-inch pots, $10 per 100. 
Citrus trifoliata 
(JAPAN HARDY LEMON) 
Prices of plants, 2 years, 12 inches and up, $4 per 
100, $30 per 1,000; 3 years old, bushy, $5 per 100, 
£40 per 1,000. 
This is the coming hedge plant for defensive as 
well as ornamental purposes, 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. Requires but 
little trimming after the third year. So far it has 
been free from insect depredations. 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 2 feet apart. 
Cydonia Japonica 
(JAPAN QUINCE) 
A most desirable deciduous hedge plant. The 
flowers vary from red to several shades of pink, ap¬ 
pearing early in the spring, before the leaves start 
into growth. Strong 3-yr. plants, $10 per 100. 
Ligustrum Amurense 
(AMOOR RIVER PRIVET) 
Strong plants, $4 per 100, $30 per 1,000. 
Our hedges of this desirable evergreen have for 
years past been noted for their perfect shape and ap¬ 
pearance. It far surpasses the variety cultivated in 
northern sections under the name of California Privet 
(Ligustrum ovalifolium '), which assumes a dingy 
green tint in winter, whereas the Amoor Privet retains 
its brighter green color throughout the entire year. 
We have cultivated this plant since 1S66, and during 
that time have propagated and sold immense quan¬ 
tities for planting hedges, which are now to be found 
in every section of the southern states. It has stood 
a cold of 20 degrees below zero in western North 
Carolina, and is equally successful in south Florida, 
thus withstanding both extremes of heat and cold. It 
is, therefore, the most desirable of all broad-leaved 
evergreens where a tall hedge is desired. Growth 
very rapid; adapts itself to any soil not too arid or a 
swamp. If properly treated, a good hedge may be 
expected in two years after planting. Set plants 12 
inches apart in ordinary soil, but in very rich land 18 
to 24 inches distance may be given. After plants are 
set, cut back to 8 to 10 inches, in order to make a 
dense hedge. 
Polyantha Roses 
These make very ornamental hedges of low growth. 
Well adapted for cemetery lots, as they are in con¬ 
stant bloom from early spring until frost. $5 for 50, 
$10 per 100. 
Clothilde Soupert. White, with rose center. Flow¬ 
ers \'/z inches in diameter, beautifully formed. 
Marie Favie. Pale rose, changing to white. Flowers 
1 inch in diameter. Of all the Polyanthas, this is the 
most desirable for hedges, as it blooms most profusely 
from early spring until frost, and is hardy in the 
northern states. 
These Roses may be planted 2 feet apart.
