Hedge Plants (Con’t) 
Berberis Thunbergi. (Japan Barberry ) 
The ideal low hedge plant, hardy, 
tough and of compact growth, adapt- 
ed to shearing. The leaves are a beau- 
tiful green in the summer turning to 
a reddish bronze in autumn and be- 
ing covered with shiny red berries 
all winter. It is customary to plant 
about 12 to 15 inches apart for a 
thick hedge, but 2 feet is close 
enough where individual expression 
is desired.

Birch 
Betula Alba Lacinata. (Cut Leaf Weep- 
ing Birch). The bark is similar to the 
white birch in color. The tree is tall 
and slender, but a vigorous grower 
with graceful and weeping habit, 
together with the cut leaf foliage 
presents such beauty as has never 
been seen before in a single tree. 
Wonderful lawn specimen often 
planted in a row to edge the drive.

with three or more stems instead of 
the usual single trunk.

mulch to conserve moisture and keep 
down weeds where cultivation cannot 
be given.

ditions. In this section we consider 
it a partial dwarf and it develops 
into a small compact tree.

Moraine Locust. (Fast growing seed- 
less shade tree). Similar in form to 
the american elm. The finely cut 
foliage provides good shade, yet al- 
lows enough sunlight to filter thru 
to promote healthy lawn growth. 
6 to 7 ft. $7.95 each 
Maples 
Acer Dasycarpum. (Silver or Soft 
Maple). A hardy rapid growth and 
large size is valuable for quick 
shade. Its leaves are good sized light 
green above and silvery beneath, 
turning to a light red and bronze in 
autumn. It produces shade quicker 
than any other variety. 
6 to 8 ft. $3.98 each 
8 to 10 ft. $4.98 each 
WATERING 
Water thoroughly rather than sprin- 
kle lightly. Give the soil all the water 
it will take at one time. No more need 
be applied for several days as a rule 
When this is done.
