Spirea Van 
Houtti planted 
for a flowering 
hedge. Spaced 
from 18 to 24 
inches apart in 
the row, this 
Spirea makes a 
pretty hedge, 
requiring little 
care. 
AT RIGHT 
Persian Lilac 
hedge. Plant 18 
inches apart in 
row, or 2 feet for 
very tall screen. 
Amur River Privet, enclosing a riower 
garden in circular form. The hedge and 
shrubbery background not only finish 
this scenery, they actually make it. 
LOW ORNAMENTAL 
HEDGES 
Barberry, Japanese 
Will make 
a pretty 
hedge up to 18 to 24 inches in height. 
Keeping - its neat shining green foliage 
throughout the summer in perfect condi¬ 
tion, changing to a showy red in fall. 
Densely branched, can be grown in shear¬ 
ed forms or without shearing in natural 
shape. For shearing plant 8 inches apart, 
for natural growth 12 inches apart in the 
row. 12-18-inch nice plants, 10 for $1.10; 
25 for $2.50; 100 for $7.50; postpaid. 18-24- 
inch nice shrubs, 10 for $1.50; 25 for $3.30; 
100 for $10.80; postpaid. 
Spirea Thunbergi—Flower- 
iwq Makes a most attractive low hedge, 
y not over 3 ft. in height, and of a 
beautiful light green color. Can be grown 
without shearing. The flowers are white, 
and appear in great profusion in early 
summer. 12 to 18-inch nice plants, 10 for 
*1.50; 25 for $3.50; 100 for $11.50; postpaid. 
Amur River Privet 
Amongst all sheared hedges 
Amur River Privet stands far 
out in the lead. Its extreme 
hardiness is only one of the advantages 
Amur River Privet offers; a clean, healthy, 
shining green foliage, a dense growth that 
responds wonderfully to shearing are also 
found in this Privet. I recommend plant¬ 
ing either in a single row 6 to 8 inches 
apart, or in a double row for a very broad 
hedge, the rows 8 to 10 inches apart, the 
plants in the rows 8 inches apart, and 
standing alternately. Right after plant¬ 
ing cut them back to within a few inches 
from the ground to make the hedge bush 
out low. Shear twice during the summer 
to even up the new growth. I have well 
rooted plants, the best for hedges:

Gnlrtan Privet In eve 'y respect 
V^Oiaen rnvei the same as the 
Amur River Privet, however, the leaves 
in a sunny location are of a beautiful gol¬ 
den yellow color, highly attractive. In¬ 
dividual shrubs, sheared round to ball 
forms can also be furnished at $1.25 each, 
2 to 3 ft. size, for planting as single spec¬ 
imens in groups of Evergreens. For 
hedges use the 6 to 12 inch size plants, 
10 for $1.20; 25 for $2.60; 100 for $9.50; 
postpaid. 
Russian Olive—Silver Leaf 
Silvery-gray foliage and twigs, which 
makes a hedge of these plants very at¬ 
tractive. Plant 8 inches apart in the row, 
and shear the plants right after planting 
to 3 inches from the ground to make them 
bush out low. Will make a nice 4 ft. 
hedge, or for a tall screen plant 12 inches 
apart. Shear during the summer once or 
twice to even up the new growth, and cut 
the hedge back every spring, allowing 
only 4 inches of previous year’s growth 
to remain on the hedge. My plants have 
strong roots, short tops, special hedge- 
grade.
