The Friendly Way 
Ftedges 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 unpleasant views and is decorative all the year. In cities a hedge is an effec- 
tive 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. Spirea Van Houttei

This comparatively new Privet has proven hardy under the severe tests of the past few years. It has 
the characteristics of the California Privet and is as hardy as its other parent, the Ibota Privet. This 
superior Privet is a welcomed addition since it can be grown and sold at the price of California Privet.
