HARDY HEDGE PLA]%TS

BARBERRY (Berberis) 

 Most useful of the Nursery's products. 



TWO OUTSTANDING NEW 

 BARBERRIES 



MENTOR BARBERRY (Berberis mentorensis) 

 (U. S. Plant Patent No. 99) 

 This practically evergreen Barberry, with its abund- 

 ant foliage hanging on all Winter, unless unusual sever- 

 ity of weather is experienced, is also more adaptable to 

 intense heat and drought than is any other hedge plant 

 we Ust. Its upright growth requires no pruning and 

 carries the deep green foliage right down to the ground, 

 and its thorny growth forms a formidable barrier to 

 man or beast when it is used for a hedge. It is truly the 

 lazy man's Barberry, needing no care when planted, 

 and quite indifferent as to soU or climate.

TRUEHEDGE COLU3INBERRY 



{B. thunbergi pluriflora erecla) 

 (U. S. Plant Patent No. 110) 

 Memy competent mu-serymen consider the Truehedge 

 Colunmberry to be the most valuable horticultural dis- 

 covery of this decade. Brought out only three years ago, 

 its worth was immediately reaJized, and the plants are 

 selling at premium prices in nursery circles. The plant 

 resembles Beirberry only in the individual leaves. It is 

 infinitely more compact and leafty than the older sort, 

 and lends itself willingly to formal shesiring, 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 is Japanese Barberry, which sometimes 

 becomes sprawling if not carefully and frequently 

 trimmed. Also, its hardiness and adaptabiUty are greater 

 than those of its parent, and altogether it is much more 

 desirable in every way. Be the first to try this sensa- 

 tional hedge plant in your neighborhood, for you won't 

 be the last. 



Japanese B. (B. thunbergi). 3 to 4 ft. Ideal and most popular for a low, dense 

 hedge, with slender arching branches, graceful yet compact. Carries a weeJth 

 of beautiful scarlet berries through the Winter and takes on a rich. Autumnal 

 shade of red. Most hardy, and requires Uttle pruning. For a hedge, set plants 

 12 in. apart.

California Privet (L. ovali folium) . 10 ft. The popular hedge plant with glossy, 

 deep green leaves, introduced by us as a hedge plant, in the early seventies 

 and now more largely planted for ornamented hedges than any other shrub. 

 Its strong, qfuick, upright growth adapts it singularly well for being grown 

 as a bcirrier or to hide imsightly objects. Here at Little Silver, New Jersey, 

 CaHfornia Privet is very nearly evergreen.
