These are 
the Best 
Plants for 
Hedg es 
Japanese Barberry (Berberis thunbergi) 
A thrifty, green hedge gives more character and beauty to home-grounds than any fence ever devised. The first cost ol 
a hedge is less than that of a fence; trimming costs less than painting; if the hedge is permitted to grow tall it shuts out un¬ 
pleasant views and is decorative all the year. In cities a hedge is an effective boundary marker, a wall of living green that 
protects the world within from the world without. The different hedge plants here listed are adapted to a variety of uses— 
and the plants themselves are in every way Hillenmeyer standard. 
Amoor River Privet, South {Ligustrum sinense) 
Semi-evergreen; grows quickly. Occasionally it freezes to the 
crown in a severe winter, but always comes back with renewed

California Privet ( Ligustrum ovalifolium ) 
Semi-evergreen, with thick, shining foliage. A rapid grower 
and may be planted without much expense and trouble by any¬ 
one needing a quick hedge. When planting, cut away most of 
the top to get a bushy hedge. The plants may be pruned to any 
desired form. We have a very fine stock of California Privet. 
Ibolium Privet ( Ligustrum ibolium) 
This comparatively new Privet has proved hardy under the 
severe tests of the past few years. It has the characteristics of 
the California Privet and is as hardy as its other parent, the 
Ibota Privet. This superior Privet is a welcomed addition since 
it can be grown and sold at the price of California Privet.

Hemlock Hedge 
Japanese Barberry ( Berberis thunbergi ) 
Each year sees an increased use of Japanese Barberry as a 
hedge plant. It is graceful, ornamental, serviceable, and hardy— 
four points that set it at the top of the list. The foliage unfolds 
in early spring, followed by yellow flowers, and later by red 
berries that remain all winter. In autumn the whole plant 
assumes a red tone. The drooping branches are thickly set with 
small spines that will turn cats or dogs. Japanese Barberry is ex¬ 
cellent for foundation planting or for massing in corners. It thrives 
in bright sun and does well in shade. iq 50 100

Fragrant Bush Honeysuckle 
The very best tall-growing hedge ever offered, and the best for 
screening purposes. It is almost evergreen, holding its foliage all 
season in mild winters. It blooms in March and has a most 
fragrant blossom. Makes a strong, bushy, dense plant and 
normally grows into a hedge 6 to 12 feet. Requires very little 
pruning and will grow anywhere. p) 50 p)0

Hemlock Hedge 
The aristocrat of the hedges. While a great many plants 
have been used from time to time in making hedges, there is 
none, for all-round purposes, which is superior to the Hemlock. 
Its rich green color in winter or summer, softness of texture, 
compactness, hardiness, ability to thrive in shade or open 
exposure, freedom from disease, are some of its outstanding 
qualities. In the past Hemlocks have been rather expensive 
to use for this purpose, but we have grown them by the 
thousands and now have what we believe is as fine stock as 
can be found in the United States. Our trees have been several 
times transplanted and every one is a specimen. Can furnish 
in heights of from 2 to 10 feet. Write for prices, giving 
distance to be planted, and we shall be pleased to quote 
special prices.
