H EDGES 
Have a Living Fence of Beauty 
F RIENDS, hedges are becoming more common and popular each 
year. A hedge is a permanent living fence that grows more beauti¬ 
ful each year. I am offering you fine, heavy rooted, outdoor grown 
stock. These hedge plants can all be trimmed or pruned to any shape 
or size desired and it will not injure them. I will appreciate 
your business and will be glad to help you on varieties and 
how to plant. If in doubt, write us for information. 
Most Popular Hedges 
BARBERRY THUNBERGI (Japanese). There is no shrub in exis¬ 
tence so generally planted or so widely or favorably known. It 
is bushy, has thorns on it, bears dense red berries in the Fall. 
Can be used as a filler, for foundation plantings, and if you want 
a compact, impassable, low hedge for your lawn, driveway or 
park, it has no superior. In autumn the foliage changes to scarlet 
or bronze in color. Its sister, the Red-leaved Barberry, can also 
be used for the same identical purposes as the Japanese. 
AMOOR RIVER PRIVET. This is the hardiest Privet of them all. 
We recommend it highly for hedging in the Middle West. Has 
glossy green foliage and holds its leaves until very late in the 
Fall. Trim your hedge at least once a year in May or early June. 
Set 9 to 12 inches apart. 
SPIREA VAN HOUTTE (Bridal Wreath). This popular, well known 
shrub is graceful, has masses of white flowers, can be used for 
border plantings, between premises, or wherever you wish to 
plant it. Spirea Van Houtte never seems out of place regardless 
of where it is planted. 
RUSSIAN MULBERRY. This is a very fine hedge but should be 
kept trimmed. I know of several very fine homes here in 
Shenandoah that use Russian Mulberry hedge successfully. It is 
also particularly good for Western Nebraska territory around 
Red Willow County and West. 
Other New and Fine Hedging Plants 
HARDY CALIFORNIA PRIVET (Ibolium). The most beautiful 
privet. Has attractive dark green foliage of the California Privet, 
but is much hardier and can be planted successfully in Southern 
Iowa and the South. 
HONEYSUCKLE (Tatarian). Blooms in May. Upright, somewhat 
spreading branches. Bright red berries appear after flowers, and 
cling to the bush for several weeks. Grows 8 to 10 feet high. Is 
very desirable for screening purposes, shutting out unsightly 
scenes, or marking a boundary line between premises. We have 
this in Red, White or Pink.
