Hedges have a multitude of uses—to establish boundaries, prevent trespassing, form 
screens and backgrounds, to separate tidy well-kept areas from those not as attractive, and 
to outline garden features. j 
Our plants are well grown and bushy. We are listing the varieties we consider best to 
obtain a good hedge. There are a number of evergreens not listed here that can also be 
used satisfactorily for this purpose—principally Yews, Hemlocks, Firs, Spruces, and Arbor- 
Vitae. 
With all of the following varieties, plants should be set at the rate of 1 plant to 1 foot 
of ground. For example, a space 75 feet in length will require 75 plants. We allow the 
100 rate on 25 or more plants of one kind. 
Fiveleaf Aralia. Acanthopanax pentaphyllum. 8 ft. (M.) An upright shrub, with arching, 
spiny branches and bright green, shining foliage. Excellent in shady places, on rocky

Japanese Barberry. Berberis thunbergi. 5 ft. (M.) We know of no better hedge plant and 
slow-growing shrub for New England and other northern states than the Japanese Bar- 
berry. It is not only hardy but also graceful and attractive. Its foliage is a rich green in 
the summer, and in the autumn is very brightly colored. The fruit is equally showy and 
remains on the plants until midwinter. Our plants are well grown and very bushy, trans- 
planted stock, and our prices are reasonable for stock of this quality.
