HARDY NORTHERN KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS. 
I believe this is the first time this seed has been 
offered. Alfalfa John took a big crew up to Hamil¬ 
ton County in northern Iowa last summer and he 
brought back the finest, heavy, Kentucky Blue 
Grass I’ve ever seen. I honestly believe it is the 
best you can get. I’d just like to have you try it.

ORNAMENTAL HEMES 
Setting a hedge around the edge of your lawn gives 
your house and lawn a distinction and beauty all its 
own. It is such a little investment for the beautiful 
and valuable effect that is given. From just another 
ordinary lawn it becomes an unusually beautiful spot. 
The small amount of money that you invest adds 
more to the value of your property, dollar for dollar, 
than any other similar investment. A hedging makes 
a beautiful background for perennial plantings or 
shrub borders. 
Our material for hedges is all hardy and northern 
grown. We send complete planting instructions and 
in a short time your lawn will be distinctive with its 
rich glossy green fencing. 
JAPANESE BARBERRY. This is the improved 
Thumbergi Barberry that is entirely free from rust. 
May be planted everywhere. The foliage is a rich 
bright green that turns to the lovely red bronze in 
the fall. The scarlet berries hold on into the win¬ 
ter and the hedge is a thing of beauty for a long¬ 
time after other plants have lost their foliage. 
BARBERRY. (The New Red. Leaf). This grows 
similar to the green Barberry and is just as hardy 
and thrives just as well. It is, how r ever, red all 
summer long. Our local cemetery here at Shenan¬ 
doah has one of the most beautiful Red Leafed 
Barberry hedges anywhere in this part of the coun¬ 
try. It stood the drouth and winter and is thriving 
in good shape. Everyone speaks about this beauti¬ 
ful hedge. Be sure and see it when you come to 
Shenandoah. In the meantime have this new beau¬ 
tiful, satisfactory shrub for your own hedge. 
AMOOR RIVER PRIVET. This is the hardiest of all 
varieties and we recommend it for the entire middle 
west. It does not blight and the foliage stays on 
late into the winter. These rich green glossy leaves 
make a very thick beautiful hedge. You can prune 
privet to any size or height. 
SPIREA VAN HOUTTEI (Bridal Wreath). Many 
times folks use it to plant on city property and 
divide the cost, for it makes a very beautiful flow¬ 
ering fence during the spring and a graceful shrub 
for both yards. You know how hardy it is and how 
well it will do in all climates. 
RUSSIAN MULBERRY. Rapid growing hedge that 
is satisfactory everywhere a tall one is needed. 
HONEYSUCKLE. Another thick growing tall hedge. 
Pink blooms and berries.
