HEDGE PLANTS 



BARBERRY. (See description, page 117.) 



It is ideal as a hedge plant on account of its 

 dense bushy growth, also because it requires 

 but little pruning to keep it in shape.

California Privet. Of all the shrubs which 

 have been tried for hedging, none can compare 

 with this. Of easy growth, and splendid foliage; 

 free from insects.

 "real aristocrat."
