AUTUMN, 1919 • A GOOD TIME TO PLANT HEDGES 



Useful Ornamental Hedge Plants 



Beautiful hedges add much to the appearance of a property, and are everywhere coming into more general 

 use. They look better than fences, last longer, and cost less. When once established, they require only a 

 little cultivation and pruning each year to keep them the desired shape and size. A fence rots and causes 

 trouble; a hedge grows better looking every year and it immediately adds value to your home. Try it. 



An attractive hedge of Japan Barberry. It is chicken-proof, dog-proof, cattle-proof, and also ornamental 



Japan Barberry (Berbens ThunbergU) EVERYWHERE 



Look around, next time you go out, and consider 

 the difference between a property with a neatly 

 kept hedge and a hedgeless one. A hedge, even when 

 young and just planted, increases the value of the 

 property at once and out of all proportion to the 

 cost of the plants. Order yours now. 



Japan Barberry is the ideal shrub and hedge plant, 

 gracefully beautiful in summer, with its arching 

 thorny branches thickly covered with small, fine, 

 rich green leaves, which change in the autumn to a 

 unique fiery crimson. Our stock is grown from 

 cuttings and produces a uniform, shapely hedge. 



Do not confuse this Japan Barberry with the 

 Common Barberry (Berberis vulgaris). The latter 

 is a host-plant for wheat-rust and therefore has been 

 ordered destroyed by the Federal Government. But 

 the Japan Barberry is absolutely safe for yourself and 

 for the wheat crop. It is recommended by Uncle 

 Sam and is the best hedge plant we know.
