FINE PLANTS for HEDGES »..7.is 
All of the following shrubs work nicely into hedges. The one you 
should plant depends largely upon the section of the country in which 
you live, your soil, and where you want to plant it in reference to your 
house or buildings. 

You will note we list two kinds of Barberry. Both are good where a 
low hedge is needed, and by reading the descriptions you will no doubt 
be able to make your choice. 
We also carry two varieties of Caragana: Pygmea, the dwarf, and 
Arborescens, the large variety. Pygmea seems to do well everywhere, 
while Arborescens is just the thing to use in dry soils and in very 
trying situations. 
BARBERRY THUNBERGI 
A hedge liked by very many. It is generally grown untrimmed and when 
so grown, it makes a very nice hedge about 21% feet broad by 21% feet high. 
Foliage medium to dark green all summer and when autumn comes it turns to 
ia rr many brilliant colors. Covered in winter with bright red berries.

Truehedge Columnberry showing natural hedge form 
TRUEHEDGE COLUMNBERRY 
(Barberry Thunbergi Pluriflora Erecta) 
U. S. Plant Patent No. 110. A spectacu- 
lar new form of Barberry, growing straight, 
upright and pyramidal, with very dense 
growth and heavy foliage evenly distributed 
from the ground up. Berries very much like 
those of Barberry Thunbergi. Plants can be 
grown and trimmed like Boxwood into sym- 
metrical specimens. Extensively used for 
hedges now as it almost trims itself. Foliage 
turns into brilliant shades of yellow, orange, 
and scarlet in the fall and remains on the 
plant until very iate. 
15- to 18-in. plants, 35c each; 5 for $1.40; 
25 for $5.50; 100 for $20.00. 
CARAGANA PYGMEA 
When this plant becomes better known 
it is going to sweep the country. In the 
first place it is a Caragana and this means 
that it is extremely hardy. It is naturally 
small and very delicate in growth habit, the 
limbs being the thickness of a knitting 
needle. It lends itself readily to close trim- 
ming and can easily be kept in the form of 
a beautiful little hedge 6 inches through and 
6 or 8 inches high as desired. Or it can be 
trimmed larger to 12 to 18 inches through 
up to 2 feet high as desired. Also ‘ends 
itself easily to trimming into perfect balls, 
squares, etc. Nothing compares with it for 
extremely small permanent hedge work 
about flower beds. 
12 to 18 in., 2 yr., 10 for $1.50; 25 for 
$3.00; 100 for $10.00. 18 to 24 in., 4 yr., 
10 for $2.50; 25 for $5.00; 100 for $18.00. 
CARAGANA ARBORESCENS 
Makes up. into a beautiful, very light 
green hedge. It must be kept constantly 
trimmed or it loses its attractiveness. Small 
stock not over 2 feet should be used to 
start with. This is the hedge that does best 
in dry and under severe climatic locations. 
Probably hardiest of all hedges for extreme north. 
2-ft. plants, 25 for $1.25; 50 for $2.35; 100 for $3.85. 
BUCKTHORN 
The most extensively used and the most 
desirable for the north where privet either 
kills out or does not do well. Dark glossy 
foliage makes a rich looking trimmed hedge. 
12 to 18 in., 10 for $1.00; 50 for $3.40; 
100 for $5.50. 18 to 24 in., 10 for $1.25; 
oe 50 for $4.25; 100 for $7.00. 2 to 3 ft., 10 
Buckthorn for $2.35; 50 for $7.00; 100 for $11.75. 



COTONEASTER ACUTIFOLIA

terested in a fine trimmed hedge, do not overlook Cotoneaster.

HONEYSUCKLE

lends itself very nicely to hedge purposes. It must be kept 
trimmed or it soon gets out of hand. Plant 1 foot apart. 
2 to 3 ft., 10 for $1.50; 25 for $3.00; 100 for $11.00. 
SPIREA VAN HOUTTEI 
Is preferred by many. It makes a good hardy hedge and 
can be trimmed to a height up to 6 feet. If wanted as a 
blooming hedge it must not be sheared or you destroy its 
bloom. Plant 1 foot apart.
