Group 7. HEDGES. are more than their own 
excuse for being. They justify their existence in 
various ways. Nothing can be more desirable for 
property division than a well grown and carefully 
trained hedge, which will increase in beauty year 
by year and lend a finished touch in keeping with 
closely mown lawns. We especially call attention to 
some of the Broadleaf Evergreens, such as Yaupon 
(Berried or not berried), Elaeagnus, Cape Jasmine, 
and others. Where the first cost might be more, 
especially where B&B Specimens are used, yet 
the after care is practically nothing on account of 
their slower, compact growth, which does not require 
constant pruing that the Privets and faster grow¬ 
ing Shrubs require.

STANDARDIZED GRADING SYSTEM 
The Standardized System of Grading Nursery Stock as adopted by the Ameri¬ 
can Association of Nurserymen is followed closely in grading our products. 
Throughout this Catalog, above each column of Prices, the X’s are used to in¬ 
dicate the Quality of Stock as follows: 
XX is well developed, standard merchantable Trees and Shrubs but not the 
best. 
XXX is Heavy, well-developed Specimens. 
EXTRA SPECIMENS; (Better Quality than XXX) is a quality in which 
we specialize, which is above anything listed, often required by exacting cus¬ 
tomers, and is priced according to its value.

IRRIGATION is one of the facilities we 
appreciate most in the production of Qual¬ 
ity Nursery Stock. Fresh River water can 
be applied through flood irrigation any¬ 
time of the year. In this way the plants 
never suffer of drouth, instead a compact 
root growth is developed. No roots have 
to seek moisture for a long distance. The 
illustration shows the value of this in dig¬ 
ging B&B Plants for transplanting and 
saving of root system. 
COMPREHENSIVE DESCRIP¬ 
TIONS 
Our descriptions of the Trees, Shrubs, 
Plants, etc. are intended to give briefly 
and concisely information regarding each 
variety, stating whether a Tree or Shrub, 
whether Evergreen or Deciduous, its gen¬ 
eral form or habit of growth, shape, color 
and size of foliage; flowers, size, shape, 
color and period of blooming; fruit, if any, 
time of ripening, size, shape, color and 
quality. 
Following the general descriptions we 
are giving the class or kinds of soil best 
suited for the Tree or Shrub, and then our 
recommendations as to the use of the 
various varieties and types. The descrip¬ 
tions are followed by our price for the 
different sizes, grades, and qualities. 
YEAR ’ROUND PLANTING OF EVER¬ 
GREENS has gained great favor during the 
past few years. By using Trees and 
Shrubs grown in Beaumont Balling soil, 
B&B, and Root pruned, our Nursery stock 
can be transplanted during mid-summer 
with the same satisfying results as during 
the Winter season. From our successful 
experiences, we do not hesitate to recom¬ 
mend Planting at all Seasons of the year.
