THE NEW BOX-BARBERRY 



An exquisite, new, perfectly hardy edging for formal beds. Makes 

 shapely, upright plants. 18 inches high, when fully matured, but can 

 be kept 6 inches high by trimming. Our stock is grown from cut- 

 tings made from the original plant. 



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. The young leaves jfre a beautiful 

 emerald-green in the spring, changing to a pleasing, soft green 

 during the summer and bright 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. 



Border your rose-beds, also your perennials and annuals, with 

 this neat, upright, hardy, little shrub. Our illustration shows how 

 neat a garden can be. Plant 4 inches apart for a low border and 

 keep the plants pruned to whatever height you want. They can 

 be trimmed at any time without injury. The one-year size is 

 best for using in garden borders. Price, i-yr. size, $3 for 10, 

 postpaid; $20 per 100 Q. 2-yr. size, $4 for 10; $30 per 100 Q.

COMMON 



BARBERRY 



The U. S. Govern- 

 ment has requested 

 that every possible 

 plant of the Common 

 Barberry be destroyed 

 because it harbors a 

 pest that is injurious 

 to the wheat crop. 



This does not apply 

 to the Japan Bar- 

 berry, which the 

 Government urges 

 you to plant. 



"JAPAN BARBERRY HARMLESS" 



An extract from a letter distributed by U. S. 

 Department of Agriculture 



"The Japan Barberry (Berberis Thunbergii) 

 does not rust; it is harmless and need not be 

 destroyed. It is more beautiful, both in sum- 

 mer and winter, than the common Barberry 

 and can be distinguished from it quite easily. 

 The edges of the leaves of the common Bar- 

 berry are toothed, while those of the Japan 

 Barberry are not; the spines of the common 

 variety are usually in groups of three, while 

 those of the Japan are usually single. Both 

 have red berries, but those of the common 

 form are borne in racemes like currants, 

 while those of the Japan form are borne 

 singly like gooseberries." Plant a Hedge.
