This photograph shows the Amour Berberry in use as a stock proof fence THE AMOUR BERBERRY HEDGE. (N) This is the ideal hedge plant of the United States. It grows to the height of from 16 to 18 feet if not trimmed, and makes a fence through which nothing can penetrate. It does not spread from the root or in any way from where it is planted. It is a fast grower, often making a growth of from 3 to 6 feet in a single year. Besides its great value as a wind-break it bears a profusion of fruit which equals currants for making jelly, wine, etc., etc. The plant is very hardy, having withstood our severe winters during the past twenty years with impunity. It is much used as an ornamental hedge, and the effect is very pretty. Some of the AMOUR'S special points are : 1st. —Extreme hardiness. 2nd —A fast grower. 3rd.—Makes a stock proof fence. 4th.—Fruit as good as currants for jelly or wine. 5th.—Will withstand severe drouth. 6th.—Easy to transplant. 7th.—Will succeed where anything will grow. 8th.—Makes a quick and a good wind-break. 9th.—Sheared once a year, and it may be kept to any desired size, making a splendid ornamental hedge.
