Stern’s Selected Hardy HEDGES 
Living Fences for Beauty, Privacy and Protection 
Stern's Selected Hedges add exceptional beauty and value to your home. 
A low hedge (such as Barberry, Privet or the lovely flowering White Spirea) will 
protect your lawn and flower beds—will add distinction to your house and gar- 
den. Tall hedges (such as the impenetrable fence of Multiflora Rosa or Red 
Honeysuckle) will convert an ordinary background into an outdoor living room. 
Use tall growing hedges to hide undesirable views, as well as for protection 
and beauty. The height listed after the name of varieties indicates their size at 
maturity. Actual size at shipping is 12-18 in.
