FOR SHADED HEDGE, USE ELAEAGNUS 
Most hedge materials fail to thrive in 
shade, yet often hedges are required under 
Shade Trees as well as in the open sun. 
Most satisfactory for this purpose has 
proved the Elaeagnus which seems to care 
not a bit whether it is called upon to grow 
in the bright sun or dense shade.

They have found their way into many 
Gardens in the Southwest, and have re¬ 
ceived much praise and admiration wher¬ 
ever they are planted. With their increas¬ 
ing popularity they are destined to be the 
most outstanding Broadleaf Evergreen for 
general use. 
PLANT IN THE SUN 
Fine for Specimens and Facing Borders 
as the branches sweep the ground. 
No group of Broadleaf Evergreens have 
grown more in favor during the past few 
years than the Elaeagnus family. A most 
versatile Shrub, for foundation plantings, 
groups, borders or hedges. To our knowl¬ 
edge, no other Shrub grows better than 
Elaeagnus in shady locations, as well as in 
full sun.

GRAFTED ELAEAGNUS* 
We have blocks of Elaeagnus grafted on Autumn 
Elaeagnus understocks, and are not as desirable as 
Cutting Grown plants listed above, as the Grafted 
types are subject to sprouting from below the grafts, 
and require constant de-sprouting. Very useful for 
wide borders and massive groups. Prices are much 
lower than cutting grown types. 
Varieties of Grafted Elaeagnus: 
BROADLEAF (See Description above) E- macro¬ 
phylla. 
DWARF THORNY (See Description above) E- 
pungens nana. 
SIMON (See Description above) E. pungens simoni.
