The Friendly Way 
To Fence 
A thrifty, green hedge gives more character and beauty to home grounds than any fence ever devised. The first cost of a 
hedge is less than that of a fence; trimming costs less than painting; if the hedge is permitted to grow tall it shuts out un¬ 
pleasant views and is decorative all the year. In cities a hedge is an effective boundary marker, a wall of living green that 
protects the wor'd within from the world without. The different hedge plants here listed are adapted to a variety of uses— 
and the plants themselves are in every way Hillenmeyer standard. 
Japanese Barberry 
Chinese Privet (Ligustrum Sinense) 
Semi-evergreen; grows quickly. Occasionally it freezes to the 
ground in a severe winter, but always comes back with renewed 
vigor. 10 50 100

California Privet (Ligustrum Ovalifolium) 
Semi-evergreen, with thick, shining foliage. A rapid grower 
and may be planted without much expense and trouble by any¬ 
one needing a quick hedge. When planting, cut away most of 
the top to get a bushy hedge. The plants may be pruned to any 
desired form. We have a very fine stock of California Privet. 
Japan6S6 Barberry (Berberis Thunbergi) 
Each year sees an increased use of Japanese Barberry as a 
hedge plant. It is graceful, ornamental, serviceable, and hardy 
—four points that place it at the top of the list. The foliage un¬ 
folds in early spring, followed by yellow flowers, and later by 
red berries that remain all winter. In autumn the whole plant 
assumes a red tone. The drooping branches are thickly set 
with small spines that will turn cats or dogs. Japanese Barberry 
is excellent for foundation planting or for massing in corners. 
It thrives in bright sun and does well in shade.

Ibolium Privet (Ligustrum Ibolium) 
This comparatively new Privet has proved hardy under the 
severe tests of the past few years. It has the characteristics of 
the California Privet and is as hardy as its other parent, the 
Ibota Privet. This superior Privet is a welcomed addition since 
it can be grown and sold at the price of California Privet.

Hemlock Hedge 
The aristocrat of the Hedges. While a great many plants 
have been used from time to time in making hedges, there 
is none for all-round purposes which is superior to the Hemlock. 
Its rich green color in winter or summer, softness of texture, 
compactness, hardiness, ability to thrive in shade or open ex¬ 
posure, freedom from disease, are some of its outstanding qual¬ 
ities. In the past Hemlocks have been rather expensive to use 
for this purpose, but we have grown them by the thousands, 
and now have what we believe is as fine a stock as can be found 
in the United States. Our trees have been several times trans¬ 
planted, and every one is a specimen. Can furnish in heights 
of from 2 to 1 0 feet. Write for prices, giving distance to be 
planted, and we shall be pleased to quote special prices.

Fragrant Bush Honeysuckle 
(Lonicera Fragrantissima) 
The very best tall-growing hedge ever offered, and the best 
for screening purposes. It is almost evergreen, holding its foli¬ 
age all season in mild winters. It blooms in March and has a 
most fragrant blossom. Makes a strong, bushy, dense plant and 
normally grows into a hedge 6 to 1 2 feet. Requires very little 
pruning and will grow anywhere. 10 50 100
