Living Fences for Beauty, Privacy and Protection 
STERN’S SELECTED 
HARDY HEDGES 
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 garden. Tall hedges 
(such as the impenetrable fence of Multiflora Rose or Red Honey- 
suckle) will convert an ordinary background into an outdoor liv- 
ing 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.
