Spirea Van Houtti 
. . Bridal Wreath . . 
A sure grower, of easiest culture, 
with or without shearing. Makes a fine 
hedge 4 to 6 ft. tall. Also see page 41. 
12 to 2-ft. extra nice shrubs, for quick 
results, 10 for $1.80; 25 for $3.95; pre- 
paid. Plant 12 to 18 inches apart. 
Persian Lilac 
Planted from 14 to 18 inches apart in 
the row and sheared to 1 foot above the 
ground at planting time, sheared in the 
summer for even heights and even sides, 
will build this hedge up to around 6 
ft. height. From that time on it is 
sheared right after blooming time every 
year. Under this method the Persian 
Lilac makes a hedge that resembles a 
green wall. Very dense, with its ever- 
healthy dark leaves. Persian Lilac does 
not make root-sprouts (suckers.) There 
is no better hedge to give you complete 
privacy in your back yard. Hardy 
everywhere. Very choice, heavy plants, 
10 for $4.85; 25 for $11.00; prepaid. 
Old Fashioned Lilac 
Its growing habits are almost the 
same as of Persian Lilac, a little coars- 
er perhaps, and sometimes making 
root-suckers. We prefer it in shelter- 
belt plantings and for very tall screens 
on large grounds. Planted 1% to 3 feet 
apart it will grow 12 feet tall, in nice 
bush form, with very little care. Price 
game as Persian Lilac. 
MEH@RNY HEDGES. for Protective Enclosures 
Russian Olive—Silver Leaf 
Silvery-gray foliage and twigs, which 
makes a hedge of these plants very at- 
tractive. Plant 8 inches apart in the row, 
and shear the plants right after planting 
to 3 inches from the ground to make them 
bush out low. Will make a nice 4 ft. hedge, 
or for a tall screen plant 12 inches apart. 
Shear during the summer once or twice to 
even up the new growth, and cut the hedge 
back every spring, allowing only 4 inches 
of previous year’s growth to remain on the 
hedge. My plants have strong roots, short 
a special hedge-grade. Prices, see page 
BEATRICE, NEBRASKA 
The most popular 
Osage Orange eice ne ROR ad 
stock enclosures. Best for post growing. 
Osage Orange is coming back; in recent 
years it has been proven that these hedges 
protect fields from hot and dry wind, and 
catch the snow in the winter. It improves 
farm ground. 12 to 18-inch seedlings, 100 
for $2.75; 300 for $7.40; prepaid. 
Caragana, Siberian Pea Tree 
Extremely hardy, makes a pretty screen, 
very upright in growth, blooming yellow 
in May. Has a pretty foliage. For en- 
closure of your garden, as well as for stop- 
ping the wind, this plant is very satisfac- 
tory. Prices, see page 24.
