Plants for Hedges and Screens 
Planting Instructions: Regardless of the variety, if you want 
the hedge to be dense, and that is what it should be In 
order to be a good hedge, the plants must be cut back very 
short right after planting, and every spring, repeated prun¬ 
ing will make the plants more and more bushy and dense. 
You can trim the hedge in the summer for shape, but the 
early spring pruning for the first few years will make you 
a dense hedge. Do not neglect this. 
Plant the privets for ornamental hedge, the Spireas for 
flowering hedge, for a low ornamental hedge plant Barber¬ 
ries Thunbergi. For fences or tall hedges plant Mulberry 
or the thorny hedge plants, Osage Orange, Siberian Pea tree. 
Russian Olive or Honey Locust. 
Our plants will be well rooted, and that is the main part 
in planting a hedge, get good roots to start with.

Dear Sir: 
Flowering Ornamental Hedges 
SPIREA VAN HOUTTI. Makes a fine flower¬ 
ing hedge, and for this purpose is probably more 
popular than any other flowering shrub. We 
have shrubs of all sizes, see page 27, and we 
can also furnish you rooted cuttings or hedging 
size plants at $2.25 per 50; $4.00 per 100; 300 for 
$11.00, prepaid. 
SPIREA BILLARDI. Can furnish these in pink 
and white, your choice, see prices, page 27. 
SPIREA THUNBERGI. For a fine low hedge, 
of light green color, this variety is excellent. 
Blooms white. See prices, page 27. 
PURPLE LILAC. The Persian and the Com¬ 
mon LILAC both make beautiful ornamental 
hedges. Their foliage, always shining green, is 
never attacked by any disease or insect. See 
prices, page 25. 
Red Leaf Barberry 
The latest in ornamental hedges. The shin¬ 
ing purplish red foliage all through the summer 
make this Barberry one of the most outstanding 
low hedging plants known. If you want some¬ 
thing different, and altogether new, plant a 
hedge of the Red Leaf Barberry. Plant 8 inches 
apart. For hedges we have a limited supply of 
fine seedling plaTits, 2 years old, 8 to 12 inches 
high, just the right size to plant for a hedge. 
We are selling them very low. Let us have your 
order early. 10 for $1.50; 25 for $2.50; 100 for 
$9.00, prepaid. 
Barberry Thunbergi. Same as above, except 
that the foliage during the summer is a shining 
green. Both varieties have small thorns. The 
Thunbergi gets red leaves in the fall. For low 
ornamental hedges which can stand any amount 
of shearing, the Barberries take first place. For 
price on all sizes, see next page. 
I have the best garden for five miles around. The 
seeds are sure fine. The best garden we raised since 
we last bought our seed from you. I wish I could send 
you a little snapshot of my garden. I will always re¬ 
member your seeds at gardening time. I will also al¬ 
ways speak a good word for your seed.

Gentlemen; 
I have recommended your 
stock to three others in town 
who are going to make a 
flower garden. I am sure 
pleased with the plants you 
sent. Never have ’ I ever 
seen such strong roots on 
plants from a nursery as 
yours are. Those strawberry 
plants are wonderful and are 
sending out. new leaves, and 
only planted a little over a 
week.
