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 world 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 (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 unfolds 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 plant¬ 
ing or for massing in corners. It thrives in bright sun and does well in shade.

Fragrant Bush Honeysuckle (Lonicera fragrantissima) 
One of the most satisfactory tall-growing hedge plants. We do not rec¬ 
ommend where you want to keep it under 3'/2-4 feet. It is strong, vigorous, 
hardy, dense and holds its foliage well into the winter. The small cream bell¬ 
like blossoms appear in very early spring and are quite fragrant. Normally 
grows into a hedge 6 to 12 feet. Requires little pruning and will thrive in 
almost any soil.

California Privet 
(Ligustrum Ovalifolium) 
Semi-evergreen, with thick, shining foliage. 
A rapid grower and may be planted without 
much expense and trouble by anyone 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. 
IbollUm 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 Cali¬ 
fornia Privet and is as hardy as its other parent, 
the Ibota Privet. This superior Privet is a wel¬ 
comed addition since it can be grown and sold 
at the price of California Privet. 
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.
