(Left) Barberry 
is one of the 
best low hedg¬ 
ing shrubs, es¬ 
pecially for the 
borders of paths 
and driveways. 
Its persistent 
scarlet berries 
are a winter as¬ 
set 
For an evergreen 
hedge or wind¬ 
break, arborvi- 
lae is without a 
superior. It re¬ 
mains splendidly 
green through¬ 
out the year, 
and may be 
sheared 
(Below) Buck¬ 
thorn deserves 
far more atten¬ 
tion than it has 
received in t his 
country. It is 
hardy, tall grow¬ 
ing, and dense 
when properly 
pruned 
Another flowering hedge of great worth where formality is not re¬ 
quired can be made of multiflora roses. Various colors can be 
selected, the whites and pinks being especially effective 
Finally, there is the ubiquitous privet which, despite the frequency 
with which it is used, is the best for many situations. Some of the 
newer forms are more hardy than the commonly used California variety
