Aristocratic Pyramidal-Growing Plant 
Resembling Evergreen Boxwood 
Here is the "latest word" in ready-made hedges! A new variety of Bar¬ 
berry which naturally grows upward in columnar shape. The dark, glossy 
green leaves are thicker and larger than common Barberry, and produced 
more densely along the stems, all the way to the ground. Truehedge plants 
produce a dense, shapely hedge immediately, as they may be set close to¬ 
gether without fear of crowding the branches. Very little pruning required, 
except to snip off an occasional branch tip which gets out of place. 
Charming Individual Specimens 
There has long been a need for a low-priced columnar shrub to take the 
place of Evergreens and Boxwood for corner plantings, accent places, etc. 
The price of Truehedge shrubs makes it possible to plant extensively wher¬ 
ever formal effects are desired. Will grow to a height of 4 to 5 feet if 
desired, and can be trimmed to perfect point at the top like Pyramidal Arbor- 
Vitae. Foliage is retained extra late in the fall, and the heavy crop of red 
berries keeps the bushes beautiful all winter. 
Perfectly Hardy—Easy to Grow 
Truehedge has withstood a winter temperature of 26° below zero without 
a sign of injury, and has come through the severe droughts of the past 
several years without its growth or beauty being hindered in the least. Thrives 
on poor soil where Evergreens and Boxwood won't grow. Absolutely immune 
from rust. We recommend this delightful shrub for planting as single spe¬ 
cimen, in groups of three or five for accent, for foundation plantings, hedges 
and borders. Also fine for potted specimens. 
The tree form of Chinese Elm has won universal favor 
because of its ability to combine rapid growth with hardi¬ 
ness and stability. These features are also dominant in 
the shrub form. No matter where you live, you can grow 
a beautiful, dense hedge of Chinese Elm in a very short 
time. It will never "freeze out" during severe v/inters like 
many other hedges. 
If you have thin, poor soil and find it necessary to 
"feed" hedges to get them to grow, discard all old va¬ 
rieties and try Chinese Elm. It never needs any fertiliz¬ 
ing or coaxing, even when planted in shady locations. 
Charming Foliage 
The leaves of Chinese Elm Hedge are dark, glossy green, 
small and very artistic. They are borne on slender branch- 
lets, hence even after a severe pruning the hedge does 
not look woody. The new, bright green branchlets and 
leaves come on unbelievably soon after pruning, keeping 
the hedge always fresh looking. Leaves and branches 
; borne densely, to form a solid wall of green, through which 
no animal can creep. 
Solves Many Hedging Problems 
We recommend this hedging for low-growing, bushy 
I hedges; 2 to 8 foot clipped hedges, and tall, informal 
I screens. A 3 to 4 foot hedge gives privacy to the yard 
! without shutting off the view from windows. Plants should 
i be set 12 inches apart and cut back to 6 inches after 
; planting to produce a bushy effect from the ground up. 
PRICES: Selected, branched, well rooted, 12-18 inch 
bushes, 12 for $1.00; 50 for $3.00; 100 for $5.50. 
"SHRUBS INCREASE VALUE OF HOME" 
"The shrubbery which I purchased from you made 
a marvelous showing. I only paid about $3.00 for one 
of your special plantings, but neighbors told me it 
made $500.00 difference in the value and appearance 
of my home. I sure recommend your stock to all my 
friends."—JOSIE MADISON, Thorntown, Ind.
