CAPE JASMINE 
(Gardenia florida) 
12 to 15 inches, from 4-inch pots, $7.50 for 50, $15 per 
100; 83-inch pots, $12 per 100. 
CITRUS TRIFOLIATA 
(Japan Hardy Lemon) 
Prices of plants, 2 years, 12 inches and up, $4 per 100, 
$30 per 1,000; 3 years old, bushy, $5 per 100, $40 | 
per 1,000. 
This is the coming hedge plant for defensive as 
well as ornamental purposes, far more desirable than 
Osage Orange. It is hardy as far north as New Jer- 
sey, and if planted in good soil an impenetrable hedge 
can be had three years from planting. Requires but 
little trimming after the third year. So far it has 
been free from insect depredations. In early spring, 
when covered with myriads of white flowers, nothing | 
is more attractive, and while not an evergreen, the 
vivid green wood makes it appear bright during the 
winter. Plants may be set 2 feet apart in rich soil. 
CYDONIA JAPONICA 
(Japan Quince) 
Strong, 3-year plants, $10 per 100, 
A most desirable deciduous hedge plant. The 
flowers vary from red to several shades of pink, ap- 
earing early in the spring, before the leaves start 
into growth. 
LIGUSTRUM 
(Privet) 
Amurense (Amoor River Privet). Our hedges of 
this desirable evergreen have for years past been noted 
for their perfect shape and appearance. It far sur- 
passes the variety cultivated in northern sections under 
the name of California Privet (Ligustrum ovali- 
folium), which assumes a dingy green tint in winter, 
whereas the Amoor Privet retains its brighter green 
color throughout the entire year. We have cultivated 
this plant since 1866, and during that time have

hedges, which are now to be found in every section of 
the Southern states. It has stood a cold of 20 degrees 
below zero in western North Carolina, and is equally 
successful in South Florida, thus withstanding both 
extremes of heat and cold. It is, therefore, the most

If properly 
treated, a good hedge may be expected in two years 
after planting. Set plants 12 inches apart in ordinary 
soil, but in very rich land 18 to 24 inches distance 
may be given. After plants are set, cut back to 8 to 10 
inches in order to make a dense hedge. Strong plants, 
hedge is desired.

Ovalifolium (California Privet). This is a very 
popular variety for hedges North and West. Leaves 
larger and growth more erect than L. Amurense. 
Strong 1 year, 18- to 24-inch plants, $4 per 100, $30 
per 1,000; 2 years, 3- to 4-feet plants, bushy, trans-

ROSES, POLYANTHA 
$4 for 50, $8 per 100, $70 per 1,000. 
These make very ornamental hedges of low growth. 
Well adapted for cemetery lots, as they are in constant 
bloom from early spring until frost. 
Marie Favie. Pale rose, changing to white. Flow- 
ers 1 inch in diameter. Of all the Polyanthas, this is 
the most desirable for hedges, as it blooms most pro- 
fusely from early spring until frost, and is hardy in 
| the northern states. 
These Roses may be planted 2 feet apart. 
SPIRAEA THUNBERGII 
(Thunberg’s Spiræa)

Of dwarf habit; branches slender and drooping; 
foliage very narrow, light green, changing to bright 
orange and red in fall. Flowers small, white, which 
appear very early in March. A beautiful variety for 
a dwarf or low-growing hedge.
