" After seeing your charming new little border shrub BOX-BARBERRY, I ordered 

 several thousand for the Greek garden borders. {Mr. Samuel Uutermyer's estate 

 Greystone.) 1 ' Albert Millard, Superintendent. 



A Distinct Novelty: Offered this Spring for 

 the First Time 



BOX-BARBERRY is a dwarf, upright form of the familiar Berberis 

 Thunbergii; it is perfectly hardy, thriving wherever Berberis Thunbergii 

 grows. It docs not carry wheat-rust. 



BOX-BARBERRY lends itself most happily to low edgings for formal gardens, 

 when set about four inches apart. It also makes a beautiful low hedge when 

 set 6 to 8 inches apart. The foliage is light green, changing in autumn to 

 dazzling red and yellow.
