For living fences 
beauty, privacy and protection 
A friendly, living hedge will give a touch of privacy to 
your home, yet it will not interfere with the view. Beauti¬ 
ful along walks, driveway and lot lines. Each passing year 
adds to its beauty. Our plants are grown especially for 
hedging. They are hardy, stocky, well-branched and 
nicely rooted. They will give you quick results. If you 
want a good tight hedge, plant one foot apart. With each 
order we send planting instructions telling how to make 
the best hedge. 
BARBERRY, JAPANESE (Thunberg’s)— A very popular low growing 
hedge. If not trimmed, it makes a dense, rounded hedge 2 to 3 feet tall 
and almost as wide. But it can be trimmed to any desired height and 
width. Foliage is bright green,^turning to a beautiful orange-scarlet in 
the fall. All winter the bright red berries gleam along the branches. 
Grows in sun or partial shade. This is the rust-free variety which can be 
planted everywhere. If there is a corner of your yard where people 
“cut across”, plant some of these and they will stop it. 
BARBERRY, RED LEAF —The brightest of all hedges. The leaves are 
rich, lustrous bronzy-red, becoming more brilliant through the summer 
and fall. Has red berries through the winter. It naturally makes a dense, 
rounded hedge 2 to 3 feet tall, but can be trimmed to any desired height. 
Plant in full sunlight to develop full color. Pictured on page 38. 
CHINESE ELM —Grows like magic. In China, its original home, it has 
been used as a hedge for centuries. It can be kept trimmed to a medium 
height hedge or a taller screen. Makes an immense number of small 
twigs, just full of leaves. Therefore when trimmed it makes a very com¬ 
pact, dense hedge. Perfectly hardy and planted in every state. Grows so 
rapidly that it will make a hedge in just a few months. The more you 
trim it, the bushier it gets. As it becomes known, we believe that it will 
be planted for hedging by the millions. HARDY, BEAUTIFUL, FAST 
GROWING AND PRICED VERY LOW. 
HONEYSUCKLE, TARTARIAN —Makes a fine tall hedge or screen, 
growing 8 to 10 feet tall. Pink flowers in May followed by great clusters 
of orange and red berries. It can also be trimmed, making a good medium 
height hedge. Grows in sun or partial shade. Especially fine for drier 
parts of Kansas and Nebraska. Grows everywhere. Pictured on page 42. 
MULBERRY, RUSSIAN —A quick growing economical hedge. 
HARDY RUSSIAN PRIVET (Amoor River North) —This is the most 
widely planted hardy trimmed hedge. The shiny leaves hang on late in 
the fall. Makes a fine trimmed hedge any height you want. This hedge is 
hardy, but California Privet is not hardy (that is why we do not list the 
California). This hardy privet hedge adds a distinguished touch to any 
yard. 
SPIREA VAN HOUTTE, 100 for $4.95 
SPIREA VAN HOUTTE (Bridal Wreath)— We consider this to be the 
best plant for a hedge, whether you wish a medium tall untrimmed flower¬ 
ing hedge or a low trimmed hedge. It makes the most beautiful flowering 
hedge. When trimmed, it makes a dense, bushy hedge hugging the ground 
closely. It is absolutely hardy, easy to grow and grows everywhere, in 
sun or partial shade. For a natural hedge, set 2 feet apart. For a trimmed 
hedge, set 1 foot apart.
