Plants for Hedging at Lowest Prices 
Easy to Grow —Easy to Take Care of 
Friends, hedges are very popular. They take the place of fences 
and are much more beautiful. My hedge plants are fine, heavily 
rooted, outdoor grown stock. All of these can be trimmed or 
pruned to any shape or size you desire. Notice the information 
on spacing and trimming on this page of the catalog. My “How 
to Plant’’ book gives you an easy way to plant, too. I am always 
anxious to help you on varieties that give the finest showing. 
Most Popular Hedges 
BARBERRY THUNBERGI (Japanese). There is no shrub in ex¬ 
istence 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. 
TRUEKEDGE BARBERRY. The new tailor-bnade hedging plant' re¬ 
quires no trimming to make a perfect shaped hedge. (See the true 
to life picture, page 30.) 
AUOOR 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 EOUTTE (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 (Itoollum). The most beautiful privet. Has 
attractive and dark green foliage of the California Privet, but it 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.
