Amoor River North Privet 
Ideal 
Trimmed 
Feretal 
Hedge 
(UgastraM aaiaraata) 
Hardiest of all Russian Privets, 
and the only Privet to use for hedge 
plantings in the North. Thick, com¬ 
pact grovrer, with dense, shiny green 
leaves that remain on the plant un¬ 
til late in the season. Frequent 
shearing gives a very formal effect. Plant 12 
inches opart in the hedge row, setting them deep 
so that the lower branches come below the sur¬ 
face of the ground, then trim back the tops one- 
third to one-half, to develop o dense, solid hedge 
from the ground up. Trim your hedge at least 
once a year in May or early June, squaring off 
the sides as well as the top.

Extremely hardy hedge plant for the North and West where hot winds 
and drought often prevail. Numerous, twiggy branches are set off by 
showy lenticels and fine, light green leaves; small, bright yellow blos¬ 
soms in the spring. A low hedge can be maintained by pruning annu¬ 
ally; naturally it grows 10-15 feet and will develop a splendid screen or 
background. 10

The new. sensational Barberry, three times as 
dense os the Japanese Barberry, the thick branches 
in close, verticol, formation, and very thickly cov¬ 
ered from the ground up with large,, deep green, 
glossy leaves. An exceUent hedge of semi-formal 
appearance is developed from the untrimmed 
plants, while five minutes pruning will result in a 
formal, compact hedge of boxwood lines, giving it 
the nickname "Boxwood Borberry." 
Single specimens, with a lew minutes shearing, 
are created into superb garden subjects — classic 
spires for entrances and formal gardens, or ony 
sort of artistic shape lor those who delight in the 
unusual. Perfectly hardy, immune from rust; in 
autumn, scarlet berries and deep red leaves add 
to the beauty of the plant.
