EARL FERRIS NURSERY, Hampton, Iowa 
With the hedge comes the delicate touch of privacy 
that stamps a home as really your very own; it borders 
the picture and frames it artistically, without shutting 
off the lovely views. Bounding the lot lines and along 
the driveway or walk you will want a low hedge of 
Barberry or Privet, or if you live in the far north it 
would be safest to plant Buckthorn and Caragana. 
To make your outdoor living room a delightfully se' 
eluded spot, enclose it with our fine Tartarian Honey' 
suckle, screening any unsightly views with these Honey' 
suckles or other tall, broad growing plants such as the 
Lilacs, Golden Elder and Spirea Van Houttei. Then, 
if you are drawn to an evergreen hedge, you should use 
the American Arbor-Vitae or one of the other easily 
trimmed, easily shaped varieties we are offering.

Amoor River North Privet 
(Ligustrum amurense) 
The hardiest Russian Privet of them all, and the only Privet to 
use for hedge plantings in the North. The graceful upright bush is 
densely covered with lustrous, light green leaves that remain on 
the plant until late in the season. When properly sheared will give 
Buckthorn Hedge. 
\ Ve fj / orma ^ effect- To get a bushy, compact hedge, the plants 
should be set several inches deeper than they were in the nursefy, 
and given a severe trimming at once, cutting them back one-third 
to one-half. Trim your hedge at least once a year in May or early 
June, squaring off the sides as well as the top. Privet plants should 
be set 12 inches apart in the hedge.

Thunberg’s Japanese Barberry 
A beautiful, rounded, compact plant full of sharp thorns, and 
densely covered with small, bright green leaves that turn to bril¬ 
liant crimson in autumn. Scarlet berries that cover the branches in 
the fall last long into the winter, making it an attractive plant at 
all seasons. Hardy everywhere, and will grow in partial shade. Won¬ 
derful for hedges and ornamental groups. Plant 18 inches apart in 
the hedge row, and may or may not be trimmed, as desired. The 
Japanese Barberry is absolutely free of rust, and can be planted 
without question in any state.

Dear Sir: Linesville, Pa. 
I wish to take this opportunity to compliment y-ou on 
your excellent nursery stock. I have never lost a shrub or 
tree that I have purchased from your nursery, and I am very 
glad to recommend y-ou to my friends. When you find a 
good nursery with reasonable prices, you want to pass the 
news along, and very shortly you will have another order 
from me.
