Deciduous Hedge Plants are an excellent investment for your home grounds 
...a fence that actually improves with age, gets stronger and more beautiful 
every year. There’s no repairing to do—just prune it to make it grow heavier 
and thicker. These well-rooted plants may be kept as low asdesired by careful 
pruning or allowed to grow talland dense if desired. Some of the varieties will 
reach a height of 15 ft., give a colorful screen for greater privacy and protec- 
BARBERRY, GREENLEAF (Berberis thunbergi). Low growing—3 to 5 ft. tall. 
Bushy, bright green foliage that turns a vivid red in the fall. Bush actu- 
ally provides color the year round, for its bright red berries cling all winter. 
Ideal for a protective hedge—the thorny branches form an almost impen- 
etrable borrier. Hardy—thrives even in light soil, and never needs trimming 
but may be trimmed if desired.

BarBEeRRY, REDLEAF (Berberis thunbergi atropurpurea). Low growing—3 to 4 
ft. tall. One of the most colorful shrubs, its brilliant purplish-red foliage be- 
comes even more beautiful if planted in full sun. Turns a lustrous scarlet in 
autumn, then produces gay red berries that cling to the branches all through 
the winter. Like the Greenleaf Barberry, it has protective thorns that help 
keep pests out of the yard. Hardy and thrifty in practically any soil or climate. 
Privet, CALIFORNIA (Ligustrum ovalifolium). Grows tall—to about 15 ft. Has 
dense, lustrous green foliage. Makes a fine formal hedge, upright, quick 
growing and easily sheared to any height. Grows in almost any soil,...

ant, fast-growing. Thrives in any soil or all Zones.
