KOREAN BARBERRY 
Increasing use of hedges is being made in landscape 
planting. In sections where evergreen hedges are 
difficult, a great variety of deciduous plants have been 
found to serve well. 
Hedges are used for windbreaks for boundary 
plantings, for architectural effects about house and 
terrace, and to provide the necessary frame for garden 
views and background for floral beauty. 
We list on this page plants which have been found 
useful for planting in hedge rows. Among them will 
be found plants suitable for both tall and low hedges; 
some of which bear foliage only, and others which in 
addition to the thick wall of leaves necessary to pro- 
duce a good hedge, will in season bear flowers, or fruit.
