700. SPIREA VAN HOUTTE-BRIDAL WREATH. 
I do believe that this hedge has adorned 
and beautified more homes than any 
other. / call it the “Santa Claus’’ shrub, 
because if’s a great gift of nature to all 
who plant it..Grows 5 to 6 ft. tall. It’s 
bushy, dense, and can be planted in full 
sun or partial shade. Looks like a snow- 
bank when in full bloom. If you want 
blooms clear out to the tips of the 
branches, do nof frim it. Piant 2 ft. 
apart. If you want to keep it trimmed, 
plant 1 ft. apart. Will take all kinds of 
abuse. Prices are low! 
Every farm home—every yard in the 
city or town can use a hedge. Barberry, 
Spirea, Honeysuckle, Chinese Elm, or 
Privet. A hedge gives your yard and home 
protection and adds beaviy. The main 
thing that you want is something that is 
extremely hardy and we have it for you. 
704. TARTARIAN HONEYSUCKLE. I like this 
great hedge shrub. I have several grow- 
ing aS a screen around my own yard. 
It’s particularly good where you want 
a tall-growing shrub. It gets dense, 
leaves are heavy. Has pretty pink 
flowers on it in May, followed by clus-

foliage is deep, glossy green, and 
sticks right on, just like a Chinese 
Elm, until the hardest, heaviest frost 
hits it. You can see this Privet growing 
clear up in Canada. Can be trimmed any 
time of the year, in any shape and it 
will keep right on growing. The more 
you trim it the thicker it gets. I 
highly recommend this great hedge

7O1. BARBERRY, JAPANESE. The green 
feaved Barberry. That is, the leaves 
are green in the spring and summer 
and are a bronze color in the fall. Has 
scarlet red berries in the fall that stay 
on ail winter. Grows bunchy and bushy. 
Can be trimmed to any shape or 
form. Particularly fine along drive- 
ways. For hardiness, I know of nothing 
that will stand as much grief or pun- 
ishment as a barberry hedge. 


















705. CHINESE ELM HEDGE. The 
more I see of the Chinese Elm 
and its habits of growth and 
its uses, the more firmly con- 
vinced I am of its fine merits. 
You can trim it as a hedge. It 
will grow dense from the top 
of the ground. The more you 
trim it, the more compac? it 
grows. Grows so rapidly that 
it will make a dandy hedge in 










just a very few months. The 
plants we offer you are very 
well-rooted, well-branched, and 
selected for hedging purposes.
