HEDGES 
This list includes a number of unusual plants for flowering and fruiting hedges which 
do not require severe trimming. 
Plant Privets if you are prepared to trim your hedge regularly. Plant one of the other 
varieties as a natural hedge for fruits and blossoms. Such natural hedges are most 
attractive when you allow them to grow up the way they want. You just watch them 
and enjoy their beauty. 
(Listed in order of ultimate height) 
DWARF RED SPIREA. Excellent for a 
flowering border along a walk or a 
wall. Succeeds in partly shady 
places. Cut off blossoms after they 
fade to insure a permanent bloom- 
ing season. 
GREEN-LEAF BARBERRY. Popular for its 
low and dense growth. The leaves 
are brilliantly colored in autumn, 
and the shining red berries remain © 
on the branches all winter. 
RED-LEAF BARBERRY. Exactly like the 
previous variety, but with brilliant 
red foliage throughout summer and 
fall. Plant in full sun to develop the 
best color. 
WHITE SPIREA. Ideal for medium-sized 
flowering hedges. Succeeds every- 
where. 
SWEETBRIAR ROSE. Makes a dense, 
thorny hedge to protect your pro- 
perty. Pink blossoms, red fruits, and 
fragrant leaves. 
NANKING CHERRY. Abundant white 
blossoms in spring and cherry-like 
edible fruit in June. Makes an attrac- 
tive fruiting hedge. Plant an Oka 
Cherry or a Rocky Mountain Cherry 
nearby for proper pollination. (See 
page 18). 
ROSE OF SHARON (Double Althea). 
Makes a _ colorful hedge which 
blooms continuously from July until 
frost. You have the choice of the fol- 
lowing colors: Double Red, Double 
Pink, Double Purple, Double White, 
and Double White with Red Eye. 
FILBERT NUT. We recommend whole- 
heartedly planting of Filbert Nuts as 
attractive screens, supplying your 
table with nutritious nuts. Barcelona 
and Du Chilly varieties should be 
planted to insure proper pollination. 
The shrubs require scarcely any at- 
tention. 
AMUR PRIVET. The hardiest of the priv- 
ets. 
CALIFORNIA PRIVET. Leaves remain on 
the plants almost all winter. Not 
quite hardy in severe sections.
