HEDGE PLANTS 
We offer two of the principal shrubs that are extensively used for Hedge Plants 
Berberis Thunbergi (Japan Barberry) 
Where a dwarf, deciduous hedge is wanted, nothing equals this beautiful Barberry. It 
requires but little pruning to keep it in shape. The leaves are small, light green, and towards 
fall assume rich, brilliant colors, the fruit or berries becoming scarlet. It is used extensively 
throughout the country and is perfectly hardy. Extra-strong, IV 2 to 2 ft., 4 to 6 branches, 
packed in bundles of 10 or 25 at $3 for 10, $6.50 for 25, $20 per 100. 
California Privet (Ligustrum ovalifolium) 
This is, perhaps, the most popular of all the hedge plants. Being absolutely hardy, it in¬ 
creases in beauty with each successive year. To get best results, plants should be set 1 foot 
apart in double rows in zigzag fashion, so that the plants are diagonally opposite each other. 
This practically places them 6 inches apart, which is desirable to get quick, dense growth. 
May be planted from March 15 to May 15, or from October to frost. The Privet which we 
are offering is grown specially on contract for us and is selected and well-graded plants. This 
is the best size to plant and is in the most vigorous condition. It will immediately establish 
itself. Extra-strong, 3-foot plants, $2 for 25, $6 per 100, $50 per 1,000.
