Plant That 

 Hedge Now 



A hedge set out in 

 October will grow twice 

 as much next year as 

 one planted in May. It 

 is easy to have a hedge like this one when you use my 



Japanese Barberry 



grown so it will make perfect hedges. The plants are 

 even in size, have strong, fibrous roots (transplanted three 

 times) and stocky, well branched tops (cut back regularly) . 

 These sturdy bushes are bound to thrive — they need no 

 coddling. 



Sent on Approval 



I will send you all you need on approval — every bush a 

 lusty five-year-old specimen, if to 2 feet high, at $20 a 

 hundred, $10 for fifty, $3 for ten. Set 18 inches apart, these 

 plants will make a good hedge at once. Barberry needs 

 no trimming, thrives in sun or shade, has beautiful 

 foliage, showy red berries, and is hardy everywhere.
