EVERGREEN HEDGE PLANTS.

We have grown a large stock of Guadalupe cypress which we highly recommend for hedge, windbreak and avenue planting. As a drouth resister it cannot be equaled by any other evergreen of like character, and will not break down with wind as it roots very deep This with the fine bluish green foliage and graceful appearance com- bine to make it -worthy of extensive planting.
