The Two Best Hedge Plants 
(Berberis 
Thunbergii) 
Japan Barberry 
On account of its extreme hardiness, the Japan 
Barberry is now considered the ideal hedge plant 
for northern climates. It makes a most graceful 
hedge, as shown below, if allowed to grow unchecked, 
but it can be grown in formal shape if desired, by 
trimming in the spring or fall. Set 12 inches apart. 
(Ligustrum 
ovalifolium) 
California Privet 
A remarkably vigorous grower, with glossy, wax- 
like foliage, a beautiful shade of green. It thrives in 
all kinds of soils and situations, in sun or shade, 
around railroads or smoky factories, and for sea- 
shore planting it is one of the best hedges you can 
get. Plant about 6 inches apart to make a compact 
hedge.

The True Japan Barberry (Berberis 
Thunbergii) Grown Without Trimming 
Perfect ly What is more gracefully beautiful in summer than the arching, thick-foliaged branches Chicken- 
Hardy ina of the Barberry, or as cheery with bright berries in winter? Surely it is the ideal shrub for Proof and 
hedges, border group, or boundary planting. Every plant we send out has been grown 
Cold Climate from cuttings made by ourselves, from genuine Japan-grown stock, therefore a hedge of Doqg-Proof 
uniform growth can be obtained from our True Japan Barberry. g
