Ornamental Hedge Plants 
Nothing can he more desirable for street protection or property divisions than n well-grown and care¬ 
fully trimmed hedge. It may he 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 grandiflorn, 
Berheris Thunbergii, Spiraea Thunhergii or Viburnum Tinus. All of these plants are graceful in form and 
beautiful in foliage and flowers. For formal plantings the Araoor 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 grand iflora. (A. rupestris). This beautiful 
broad-leaved evergreen is becoming a very pop¬ 
ular hedge plant. As this makes a very bushy 
growth, the plants can be set 18 to 24 inches apart. 
PRICES: 100 
12-18 in., strong plants from open ground. $50.00 
Buxus 
15. sempervirens suffruticosa. (Dwarf Boxwood). 
This 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.

Laurocerasus 
Laurocerasus carollniana. (Prunus caroliniana). 
(Wild Olive, Mock Orange of the South). This 
makes an admirable hedge plant. Stands shear¬ 
ing well and is perfectly free from the depreda¬ 
tions of insect and fungus diseases. Plants should 
be cut back to within 4 inches of the ground when 
set out.

Ligvjstrum 
(Privet) 
Ligustrum ainuren.se. (Amoor River Privet.) The 
true variety. For the South it is far superior to 
the California Privet, which loses its leaves dur¬ 
ing winter, whereas'the Amoor River Privet retains 
its foliage throughout the entire year. Since 1860 
we have cultivated 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, adapted itself to almost aiiy 
soil not too arid or extremely wet. If properly 
treated, a hedge may be secured in two years after 
planting. 
PRICES: 100 1000 
18-24 in., well branched, transplanted $8.00 $05.00 
12-18 in., branched, transplanted. 0.00 50.00 
NOTE—To save freight, we always cut back Amoor 
River Privet before shipping, unless instructed to the 
contrary. This also avoids the possoibility of the 
plants heating, should there be delay in transit. 
How to Make a Privet Hedge— Prepare the ground 
by plowing or spading to the proper width and 
depth. Open the trench 12 inches wide by 15 inches 
deep. Apply to this a liberal amount of well-rotted 
stable manure, 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, buth side and top, and pro¬ 
ceed in a like manner with each succeeding growth 
until your hedge has reached the desired height and 
width. Cultivate well.
