sheared any shape. Plant 10 inches apart and prune back to 8 to 10 
inches after planting for a dense hedge. 2-yr., well branched, 15 to 
18 in., 25 for $3.00; 50 for $5.50; 100 for $10.00. 
GREEN-LEAVED BARBERRY 
America’s most popular low-growing hedge. Bright green leaves 
turn to dazzling shades of red, gold and bronze in the fall. Brilliant 
red berries in great numbers stay on through the winter months. Per- 
fectly hardy and will grow in shade or on poor soil. May be pruned 
or sheared any time. 9 to 12 in., 25 for $1.50; 100 for $5.00. 12 to

RED-LEAVED BARBERRY 
General growing habit and hardiness same as Green-Leaved Bar- 
berry described above, except that the foliage on this variety is a rich, 
deep red. The ideal plant for foliage contrast. Should be planted in 
sun to get best effect. Well rooted, 9- to 12-in. plants, 25 for $3.00;

SPIREA VAN HOUTTEI HEDGE

blooms completely cover the sweeping branches in May. Delicately cut 
leaves stay bright green until autumn, then turn to bright shades of 
bronze and yellow. Grows to 6 feet, but may be pruned any time 
after blooming period. Makes a beautiful flowering hedge. 2-yr., 12 
to 18 in., 25 for $3.00; 100 for $10.00. 
DWARF HARDY BOXWOOD 
FOR DWARF EVERGREEN HEDGES 
No doubt you have at various times admired the dwarf Boxwood hedges 
used so much for garden outlines on large estates. Most of the earlier Box- 
wood in this country came from England and later was much used in 
Virginia, New Jersey and other eastern states. 
We have grown quite a nice stock of these plants which have proven 
entirely hardy in Northern Indiana and now offer them to our customers at 
a reasonable price. In extreme northern sections they should be given some 
winter protection. 
(Note: For close hedges, plant 6 to 8 inches apart. For bed outlining 
plant 1 foot apart. Will eventually reach 2 to 3 feet high unless severely 
sheared and kept low.) 
6-yr., 6- to 
8-inch 
plants: 
45c each; 
BUSH HONEYSUCKLE FOR HEDGE 
No hardier plant can be found than the Bush Honeysuckle. Grows 
to a height of 8 to 10 feet, with upright and somewhat spreading 
branches. Foliage is bright green and flowers are borne freely in May 
and June. Very fragrant and attracts bees and humming birds. Showy 
red berries ripen in summer and cling to the bush for many weeks. 
The best shrub in our nursery for a high, compact hedge, for screen- 
ing purposes, or to attract birds. 2-yr, 18 to 24 in., 25 for $3.50; 
100 for $12.50. 
PLANTING AND GROWING HEDGES ’ 
Beautiful hedges are easily grown if a few simple instructions 
are observed. Dig a trench 10 to 12 inches deep and the width 
of a spade. Set the plants a couple of inches deeper than they 
stood in the nursery. This insures a dense hedge at the base. 
Privet should be set 10 inches apart, Barberry about 18 inches. 
Shrubs such as Spirea' 18 inches, Chinese Elm 2 feet, and Ever- 
greens 2 to 3 feet. Spacing may be varied depending upon the 
density desired. After spacing plants, fill in about one-half of the 
depth of the trench, then flood with water. After settling fill in 
balance of the trench and tramp firmly. Leave a slight depres- 
sion along each side of the hedge to retain water. Keep thoroughly 
soaked until well started. Privet should be cut back to about 8 to 
10 inches after planting to promote vigorous growth. Hedges 
planted in this manner rarely fail to grow. 

PLANTING DISTANCES FOR 
VARIOUS SHRUBS......... 
Large growing shrubs should be planted 
4 to 5 feet apart in shrub borders. Dwarf 
trees about 8 to 10 feet apart. Medium 
growing shrubs 2 to 3 feet apart and low 
growing varieties, 1/2 to 22 feet apart.
