THE LAKETON NURSERIES 
HEDGE PLANTS 
A small amount of money invested in beautiful hedges will add 
more value to a country or city home property, dollar for dollar, 
than any other similar investment. A hedge planted about the bor¬ 
ders of a lawn will transform a heretofore bare looking spot into 
a place of beauty, and you can keep it low or let it go high, as a 
screen. City lots may be divided by Hedging with fine effect. 
BARBERRY, THUNBERCrII —We consider this the best hedge plant 
in existence. It is beautiful throughout the year; its abundant crop 
of bright red berries makes it even more attractive in the winter 
than the summer. Its compact growth and thorny branches make a 
defense hedge that will turn cattle after five years’ growth. As an 
untrimmed hedge it requires no attention except an occasional cut¬ 
ting of a few straggling branches. The natural growth is so dense 
and even that it forms a perfect hedge without shearings, but if a 
formal hedge is desired, it can be made so by shearing; hardy, of 
easy culture, and will grow in any soil or situation. For a hedge, 
plant in single row, 15 inches apart.

NEW RED LEAF BARBERRY —Similar in all respects to the green 
leaved Japanese Barberry which is so popular for mixing in a shrub¬ 
bery border as single specimens or for planting in clumps o nthe lawn, 
as well as for foundation plantings and for hedge, but the foliage of 
this new variety is of a rich, lustrous bronzy red, similar to the rich¬ 
est brilliant and red leaved Japanese Maple. As the season advances 
it becomes more gorgeous and in the fall its foliage changes to vivid 
orange, scarlet and red shades. To best develop its brilliant coloring, 
plant in full exposure to the sun.
