PLANTS FOR HEDGES 
30 Plants of Any One Variety and Size at the 100 Rate 
Ibolium Privet 
This variety is now acknowledged as the best of all 
upright Privets, almost replacing the varieties California 
and Amoor River for general planting and hedging 
purposes. It resembles, in general appearance, the 
California, but slightly more spreading, of equally rapid 
growth and easy culture, but has the great advantage 
of being absolutely hardy. 18 to 24 in., 60c per 10, 
$5.00 per 100; 2 to 234 ft., 90c per 10, $7.50 per 100; 
234 to 3 ft., $1.25 per 10, $10.00 per 100. 
Ibota Privet 
This variety, much more branching than the foregoing 
sorts, is really one of our finest hedging plants and 
absolutely hardy. It does well in partial shade and can 
be readily trimmed into any form. Our stock of this is 
unusually bushy. 18 to 24 in. 90c per 10, $7.50 per 
100; 2 to 234 ft. $1.25 per 10, $10.00 per 100. 
Japanese Barberry 
Too well-known to need description. Its attractive 
foliage and bright red berries add to its charm. 1 5 to 18 
in. $1.50 per 10, $12.50 per 100; 18 to 24 in. $2.00 
per 10, $17.50 per 100.
