The Friendly Way to Fence 
A thrifty, green hedge gives more character and beauty to home grounds 
than any fence ever devised. The first cost is usually less than an ordinary 
fence and trimming less expensive than painting. A hedge is an effective 
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. 

All Privet hedges should be cut back at least one-third after planting. 
Chinese Privet (Ligustrum Sinense) 
A rapid semi-evergreen, loose growing plant that is desirable for hedge or 
screen. It prunes beautifully and can be kept to almost any height desired. 
When kept closely clipped the leaves are quite small and look almost like 
Boxwood. Occasionally freezes to the ground during a severe winter but always 
comes back with renewed vigor.

Ibolium Privet 
This comparatively new Privet has proven hardy under the severe 
tests of the past few years. It has many characteristics of the Cali- 
fornia Privet though not as evergreen, 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.

Japanese Barberry (Berberis Thunbergi) 
Each year sees an increased use of Japanese Barberry as a hedge 
plant. It is graceful, ornamental, serviceable, and hardy—four points 
that place it at the top of the list. The foliage unfolds in early 
spring, followed by yellow flowers, and later by red berries that re- 
main all winter. Im autumn the whole plant assumes a red tone. 
The drooping branches are thickly set with small spines that will turn 
cats or dogs. Japanese Barberry is excellent for foundation planting 
or for massing in corners. It thrives in bright sun and does well in 
shade.
