EARL FERRIS NURSERY, Hampton, Iowa 
Japanese Barberry 
(Berberis Thunbergi) 
A beautiful, rounded, compact plant full of sharp thorns, 
and densely covered with small, bright green leaves that turn 
to brilliant crimson in autumn. Scarlet berries cover the 
branches in the fall, and last long into the winter. Hardy 
everywhere, and will grow in partial shade as well as sun. 
Wonderful for hedges and ornamental groups. Plant 12 or 
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.

Liviing Fences 
With the hedge comes the delicate touch of privacy that stamps a home as 
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, 
what is more beautiful than a low hedge of Barberry or Privet. Your outdoor 
living room, if enclosed with Ferris’ Tartarian Honeysuckle, will be a delightfully 
secluded spot, while this same shrub, and other tall, broad growing plants such 
as Spirea Van Houttei and Lilacs, are ideal for screening unsightly views. 
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. Thick, compact grower, densely covered with lustrous, 
light green leaves that remain on the plant until late in the season. When prop' 
erly sheared will give a very formal effect. Privet plants should be set 12 inches 
apart in the hedge. To get a bushy, compact hedge, the plants should be set 
several inches deeper than they were in the nursery 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.
