HEDGE PLANTS 
Although the hedging plants listed below are the 
most popular, almost any of the flowering shrubs 
will also make beautiful hedges. The Red and 
Green Barberries listed below are also beautiful 
additions to the shrub border. 
CHINESE ELM 
When planted close together (9” to 1’ apart) 
and kept trimmed, will make an ideal hedge; or, 
if planted 2 to 3 ft. apart, makes an attractive 
tall hedge or screen to cover vacant lots and un- 
sightly places. 
PRIVET 
This hardy northern type of Amoor River Privet 
will withstand 40 degrees below zero without .in- 
jury. Bright green lustrous leaves; fragrant white 
flowers followed by blue-black berries. Set 9 to 
12” apart. 
GREEN BARBERRY 
(Thunbergi) makes an ideal hedge growing about 
3 ft. high. It is also indispensable as a founda- 
tion plant mixed with other shrubs or Evergreens. 
Grows in partial shade. For hedging, set plants 
12 to 18” apart. 
RED BARBERRY 
Exactly like the Green except for the color of 
the foliage, which is a rich, bronzy red. The color 
is best when planted in full sun. 
SPIREA VAN HOUTTEI* 
Most popular and useful of the flowering shrubs 
and one of the most startling hedges. Since this 
is a dual-purpose plant, you can use extra plants 
for foundation or border plantings.

MULTIFLORA ROSE 
for Farm Fence or Garden Hedge 
Multiflora Roses grow quickly into thick, im- 
penetrable, blossoming hedges that form effective 
barriers to livestock and people. The mature 
hedges are 6 to 8 ft. high and 5 to 7 ft. wide. On 
the farm they are easier and cheaper to establish 
than wire fences and require no maintenance. 
Foliage is rich, restful green covered by a mass 
of white flowers in late spring. Does not sucker. 
Effectively confines cattle in 3 years and in an- 
other 2 to 3 years ‘“‘will even turn a razor-back 
hog.” 
Set plants 12 in. apart for farm fences (6 in. 
for hogs) and 18 in. apart for garden hedges. 
Plant experimentally in far north or deep south 
and in arid regions. Not recommended in swamps 
or heavy shade. Especially valuable for contour- 
planting. (10 for $1.85) (25 for $3.25) (50 for 
$5.50) (100 for $9.00) (500 for $37.00) (1000 for 
$55.00) prepaid.
