COMMON BARBERRY RUNS WILD 

 The common barberry is beginning 

 to run wild. It has been planted wide- 

 ly as an ornamental shrub in cities, 

 villages, and rural districts. It was 

 distributed all over the country by 

 nurserymen before it was realized how 

 destructive it is. Since the nursery- 

 men have learned about the effects of 

 the bush, they have taken the lead not 

 only in destroying their own bushes 

 but in assisting in the destruction of 

 others. Patriotic nurserymen of Min- 

 nesota destroyed over 598,000 barberry 

 bushes in the spring of 1918, represen- 

 ting a great financial loss. One nur- 

 seryman in Iowa destroyed 50,000 valu- 

 able purple-leaved bushes, and practi- 

 cally all nurserymen have stopped 

 propagating any harmful kinds of bar- 

 berry. 



Unfortunately, the common barberry 

 has begun to run wild in the grain- 

 growing districts. It has commenced 

 to establish itself along streams, in 

 pastures, and along roadsides, where 

 it is in a position to do its deadly work 

 at close range. If this spread is not 

 checked at once, we shall probably be 



growing barberries and black stem 

 rust but very little wheat with com- 

 paratively few years. Dig the bar- 

 berry now, thus protecting the present 

 grain crops and insuring those of the 

 future. 



Barberry bushes and hedges in vil- 

 lages and cities can damage distant 

 grainfields. The rust is spread by the 

 wind and can be blown long distances. 

 City dwellers who have planted the 

 common barberry can assist in protect- 

 ing fields of wheat and preventing crop 

 losses by removing their bushes. It 

 has often been observed that barberry 

 bushes in large cities spread rust, first 

 to grasses near by and then onward 

 to grainfields several miles distant. 

 Execute this criminal bush wherever 

 it is. because it often works secretly 

 far from its victims, the grainfields 

 and the grain growers. 



The mahonia, or Oregon grape is 

 closely related to the barberry. It 

 also may rust and should be destroyed. 

 This bush has compound, hollylike 

 leaves, which often are spine pointed. 

 The berries are bluish. It is found 

 wild from the Rocky Mountains west- 

 ward and is cultivated somewhat in 

 the eastern United States.
