Beautiful frames for homes and gardens.

BARBERRY (Berberis) 



Japanese Barberry (B. thunbergi) . 3 to 4 ft. Ideal and most popu- 

 lar for a lo'w, dense hedge, with slender arching branches, grace- 

 ful yet compact. Takes on a rich autumnal shade of red and 

 carries a wealth of beautiful scarlet berries throughout the win- 

 ter. Most hardy, and reguires little pruning. For a hedge, set 

 12 inches apart. The following prices refer to splendid, stocky, 



transplanted plants. Doz.

Red Japanese Barberry (Berberis thunbergi atropurpurea) . 5 to 

 6 ft. Red-foliaged type of the popular Japanese Barberry, with 

 rich bronzy red foliage, valuable for color in the border and 

 beautiful as a hedge plant. The color becomes more intense in 

 summer, and the dense twigs take on a mass of scarlet berries 

 in the fall. An invaluable shrub, which should be planted in 

 full sunlight for best results.

TWO WORTHY NEW BARBERRIES 



Mentor Barberry (B. mentorensis) (U. S. Plant Patent No. 99). 

 3 to 4 ft. Practically evergreen (unless winters are severe), 

 and amazingly resistant to heat, drought, or soil conditions, 

 this upright, hardy sort carries deep green foliage to the 

 ground, and makes a formidable barrier as a hedge, with 

 strong thorns. It is also good when planted among evergreen 

 trees and needs almost no care when planted.

Truehedge (B. thunbergi erecta) (U. S. Plant Patent No. 110). 

 3 to 4 ft. Many competent nurserymen consider the Truehedge 

 Columnberry to be the most valuable horticultural discovery 

 of this decade. The plant resembles Barberry only in the 

 individual leaves. It is infinitely more compact and leafy than 

 the older sort, and lends itself willingly to formal shearing, 

 of which one treatment will be sufficient, since the plant itself 

 is quite formal in appearance. It, too, is much more erect in 

 growth than its parent, which sometimes becomes sprawling 

 if not carefully and frequently trimmed. Many thousands of 

 our Truehedge were delivered last spring to the New York 

 World's Fair. Each Per 5 Per 25 Per 1 00

PRIVET (Ligustrum) 

 Amur River North Privet (L. amurense) . 15 ft. Big handsome ob- 

 long foliage of deepest glossy olive-green, followed by fragrant 

 white flower clusters. Best hedge plant, by far, for severe cli- 

 mates.

California Privet (L. ovalifolium). 10 to 12 ft. Introduced by our 

 nursery as a hedge plant in the early seventies, this sturdy 

 shrub with its glossy green leaves is now more popular for orna- 

 mental hedges than is any other sort. Its strong, guick, upright 

 growth adapts it singularly well for being grown as barrier or 

 to hide unsightly objects. Here at Little Silver, N. J., California 

 Privet is very nearly evergreen.

Ibolium Privet (L. ibolium). 10 ft. A cross between California and 

 Ibota Privet, with the beauty of the former and the hardiness of 

 the latter. Has withstood zero temperatures without injury, and 

 its semi-evergreen foliage makes it an attractive all-round hedge 

 plant. Doz. 100 1000
