HEDGE PLANTS {Continued) 



BARBERRY 



BERBERIS THUNBERGII— Has become 

 very popular for producing low, dense hedges. 

 Its abundant, small light green leaves, which turn 

 to rich colors in autumn, and its wealth of scarlet 

 berries render it very attractive. It is extremely 

 hardy, and requires but little pruning. Orna- 

 mental and graceful the year around. For 

 hedges set plants 12 inches apart.

NEW RED LEAVED JAPANESE 

 BARBERRY 



No doubt the majority of our customers have time and 

 again admired plants of the variety known as Red Leav- 

 ed Japanese Maple. Two factors have prevented this 

 particular sort from becoming widely distributed — the fact that it is an ex- 

 ceedingly slow grower, and consequently expensive; and also there have 

 never been enough to supply the demand. 



Now supposing, w^e were to tell you of a plant that does not cost any more 

 than the ordinary ornamental shrub, that thrives luxuriantly in all soils and 

 sections, is literally as hardy as an oak, and is available in quantities sufficient 

 to fill any ordinary demands. All this is absolutely true in connection with 

 this new Japanese Barberry, which is easily the most brilliant foliage iplant 

 that has been brought to our attention during the last decade. 



In habit of growth and general nature, this new Red Leaved variety is abso 

 lutely identical with the ordinary green foliaged Japanese Barberry so highly 

 esteemed as the ideal dwarf hedge. But this newcomer has exceptionally 

 bright red, lustrous foliage. In the fall this foliage changes from scarlet to 

 vivid orange and reds of various hues, its beauty being but enhanced by great 

 crops of brilliant scarlet berries which remain on the bushes throughout the 

 winter. 



There is but one special cultural requirement that should be observed in 

 connection w4th this new Red Leaved Barberry: It should be planted where it 

 has full exposure to the sun, in order to do its best with its brilliantly colored 

 foliage.
