Adventures in Contentment 



By DAVID GRAYSON 



" Here is a book so delightful in its literary style, so simple, 

 so sound in its philosophy, so full of genuine content and 

 with such a sunny outlook upon life that one almost hes- 

 itates to write about it lest its charms shall be clouded, as 

 it were, by overmuch handling." — The Brooklyn Daily 

 Eagle.

A Live Fence Beautiful the Year Round 



The landscape craftsman who understands his art more and more is letting nature 

 build his fences. A live fence adds as much to the appearance of home grounds as a 

 frame adds to the beauty of a picture. 



UNTRIMMED HEDGES AN IDEAL FENCE gg, §^J£T^*** 



touch to the beauty of a lawn and garden. They will afford protection against many unwel- 

 come intruders, may be used to hide unsightly fences of wire and other material, and have 

 much usefulness for edging trellises and beautifying walks and roads. 



THUNBERG'S BARBERRY (Berberis, T.). This handsome deciduous hedge plant re- 

 tains its beauty in winter, when the hare twigs are strung with a profusion 

 of bright coral-red berries. It grows thickly with masses of 

 matted branches, fulfilling its purposes as a hedge in winter as 

 in summer— low and even, with horizontal branches 



12- to 15-inch plants, $5 per 100; $45 per 1,000.
