25c. to 35c. 
HOLLY. Hex. 
American (Opaca) — Foliage like that of the Eng¬ 
lish Holly, except in being of a lighter color. Fruit 
deep crimson, very showy, and valuable for Christ¬ 
mas decoration. Very hardy and desirable shrub.

I. crenata—Beautiful dense growing evergreen, with 
small, deep, glossy green foliage. A plant of great 
ornamental merit. 50c. to .$1.50. 
LAUREL. Kalmia. 
Mountain (Latifolia) — Broad, glossy green, shin¬ 
ing foliage. Flowei’S in large, showy custers in 
June. Few broad-leaved evergreens areas beauti¬ 
ful in foliage, and none can excel the beauty and 
delicate form of its exquisite flowers, so wonderfully 
shaped and ornamented with such elegant shades 
of color. A native, but nevertheless one of the finest 
ornamental shrubs in existence. 35c., 50c. and 75c. 
Malionia Aqiiifolia — A well-known bush, of the 
greatest value to give a surface of green foliage in 
winter. Its large, spiny leaves, which turn scarlet 
in fall, are much like those of the famous English 
holly, and its bright yellow flowers in May are very 
effective. Good in shady spots, loc., 25c., 50c. 
and 75c. 
RHODODENDRONS. 
These magnificent shrubs are now generally ad¬ 
mitted to be the finest of all hardy plants used for 
ornamental purposes. We recommend them for plant¬ 
ing wherever fine shrubs are wanted. They usually 
succeed best in partially shaded situations; mulching 
is alwaj^s advisable. The broad, evergreen foliage, 
with its glossy richness, would alone entitle it to the 
first rank, but when crowned in June with many 
clusters of flowers, each cluster large enough for a 
bouquet, and each variety having its own color— 
white, blue, purple, delicate shell, cherry, lilac and 
crimson, the term superb fitly describes its appear¬ 
ance. Finely budded, 75c. to $1.50 each. 
THORN. Crataegus. 
Evergreen (Pyracantha) — Dense growth, bearing 
pruning well. Foliage shining, deep green in sum¬ 
mer, purplish red in winter; flowers small in 
bunches, light pink or white, appearing in June; 
fruit of a very intense orange scarlet color, in large, 
showy bunches, clinging to the bush until spring. 
12 to 18 inches, 20c. each, $1.50 per 10; 18 to 24 
inches 35c. each, $3 per 10. 
HEDGE plants-CALIFORNIA privet. 
In growing Privet we are not after height, but bushy plants branched from the ground. Privet we 
consider the most popular of all hedge plants, and decidedly the finest and best of all for forming an ornamen- 
tal'Taedge, its foliage being so abundant as to produce a wall of the deepe.st, richest green. It can almost 
bejcalled an Evergreen, as its foliage is not shed until late in the winter, and then only in an exposed position. 
We mention some of its merits: , , ^ ^ 
is very hardy, easily and quickly pruned. Will grow almost anywhere; can be kept down to 16 
inches or you can let it grow, if a screen is required, to 15 feet high. You may have it narrow or wide.

We have thisplanttrimmed in various forms. We have them to represent evergreen trees—round,compact 
balls suitable to plant where you cannot grow evergreens. We also have the standards, as you will notice 
in the cut on page 23, or trimmed in shape to represent a Sweet Bay Tree and which cannot be distinguished
