Popular Hedge Plants 



California Privet 



Hedges make walls 

 of living green and 

 are cheaper to buy 

 and to maintain than 

 iron or even board 

 fences. With mini- 

 mum care a hedge is 

 an ornament and a 

 lasting satisfaction. 

 Plant early, while 

 the plants are dor- 

 mant.

MOST POPULAR HEDGE PLANT 



Thrives in all kinds of soils and situations, in sun or 

 shade, around railroads or smoky factories, and for 

 seashore planting it is extra fine. Lovely specimen 

 bushes can easily be made by selecting well-branched 

 young plants and pruning them into whatever shape is 

 desired. They are generally trimmed into cone-form, 

 like the specimens between the trees shown in the 

 picture above. For hedges, plant California Privet 6 to 

 9 inches apart. 100 1,000

Jdpdll Barberry (Berberis Thunbergi) 



HARDY EVERYWHERE 



A Neatly Kept Hedge Gives That Finished Effect to 



Your Home 



An 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. Makes masses 

 of brilliant scarlet berries which remain until well into 

 the winter and shine brightly when the bushes are 

 covered with snow. 



This is an indispensable plant for hedges in the far 

 north on account of its hardiness and freedom from 

 insect pests. When allowed to grow un- 

 checked, it makes a beautiful billowy 

 hedge about 5 feet in height and the 

 same in width. If desired, it can be 

 kept trimmed to any height and 

 shape. 



Plant from 9 to 12 inches apart and 

 make a chicken and dog-proof hedge
