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 year to keep them the desired shape and size. 
A fence rots and causes 
trouble; a hedge grows better looking every year and it zmmediately adds value to your home. Try it. 
(Berberis 
Japan Barberry Thunbergii) 
HARDY EVERYWHERE (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. Brilliant scarlet berries make the 
hedge attractive after the leaves have fallen. 
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 I5 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. Vernon 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, fleshy 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. Our plants are 
bushy, symmetrical, and have an unusually strong root system 
that insures good growth after transplanting.

NOVELTY HARDY EDGING PLANT 
PERFECTLY HARDY ANYWHERE 
ING 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.
