AUTUMN. 192'!— INVEST IN A HEDGE. A GILT EDGE INVEST^4ENT 



Hardy Hedge and Edging Plants 



Beautiful hedges add much to the appearance of a property, and are everywhere coming into more general 

 use. They look better than fences, last longer, and cost less. When once established, they require only a 

 little cultivation and pruning each >-ear to keep them the desired shape and size. A fence rots and causes 

 trouble; a hedge grt)\vs better looking every year and it immediately adds value to your home. Try it. 



Japan Barberry Al^tlh 



HARDY EVER\ \\HERE (See cut) 



Japan Barberry is the ideal shrub and hedge plant, 

 gracefully beautiful in summer, with its arching 

 thorny branches thickly covered with small, fine, 

 rich green leaves, which change in the autumn to a 

 unique fiery crimson. Our stock is grown from 

 cuttings and produces a uniform, shapely hedge. 



Barberry makes a lovely hedge when allowed to 

 grow without trimming, but it can be trimmed without 

 injury at any season and kept in formal shape. 



Do not confuse this with the Common Barberry 

 {Berberis vulgaris). The latter is a host-plant for wheat- 

 rust and therefore has been ordered destroyed by the 

 Federal Government. But the Japan Barberry is ab- 

 solutely safe for yourself and for the wheat crop. It is 

 recommended by Uncle Sam and is the best hedge plant 

 we know, and hardy everywhere.

Evergreen Box Edging {Buxus sempervirens) 



The old-fashioned evergreen dwarf edging plant. Grows 

 only about 15 inches high. There are some gardens in this 

 country where the pathways are edged with Box plants (like 

 these) over 100 years old. This evergreen Box Edging was 

 used for bordering the Rose-garden of George Washington at 

 Mt. \'ernon and is still fine. Without question the most 

 beautiful formal edging plant known. In the temperate zone 

 you will find gardens with all the walks neatly edged with it. 

 The foliage is firm, fieshy and dark green in color. You can 

 trim at any time and after a rain the refreshing fragrance from 

 a planting of boxwood is an added charm.

NOVELTY HARDY EDGING PLANT 



PERFECTLY HARDY ANYWHERE 



IN THE UNITED STATES 



An exquisite, new, perfectly hardy edging 

 plant. Makes shapely, upright bushes that 

 can be kept 6 inches high by trimming. Our 

 stock is grown from cuttings made from the 

 original plant. Especially valuable in the 

 central and northern states as it is perfectly 

 hardy and does not winter-kill. 



This new dwarf Barberry comes to fill 

 a long-felt need for an edging plant that 

 is dwarf in growth, free from all diseases 

 and insect pests, and absolutely hardy 

 everywhere in the United States. The 

 foliage is small and dainty, in fact as 

 small as the leaves of the universally 

 known evergreen Box Edging, Buxus 

 sempervirens. The young leaves are a 

 beautiful emerald-green in the spring, . 

 changing to a pleasing, soft green during 

 the summer and dark red in the fall. In 

 many parts of this country, garden-beds, 

 had to be bordered annually or not at all,, 

 as there was no perfectly hardy edging 

 plant to use, but now no garden need be 

 incomplete on this account. Box-Bar- 

 berry, as far as we are aware, has never 

 been known to winter-kill, and this in- 

 sures a neat, unbroken border.
