BARBERRY {Berheris)

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

 wealth of beautiful scarlet berries through the Winter and takes on a rich, 

 Autumnal shade of red. Most heirdy, and requires little pruning. For a 

 hedge, set 12 in. apart.

TWO WORTHY NEW BARBERRIES 



Mentor Barberry (B. mentoren^is) (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 no care when planted.

Truehedge Columnberry (B. thunbergi pluriflora 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. Brought out only three years ago, its worth 

 was immediately realized. 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 sprawUng if not carefully and frequently 

 trimmed. Also its hardiness and adaptability are greater than those 

 of its parent, and altogether it is much more desirable in every way.

PRIVET (Ligustrum)

 deepest oUve-green graces this hardiest Privet, which is undoubtedly the 

 best hedge plant for severe climates.

 California and Ibota Privet, with the beauty of the 

 former and the hardiness of the latter. A good, all- 

 round hedge plant.

California Privet (L. ovalifolium). 10 to 12 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 ornamental hedges than any 

 other shrub. Its strong, quick, upright growi^h adapts it singularly well for 

 being grown as barrier or to hide unsightly objects. Here at Little Silver, 

 New Jersey, California Privet is very ne£u-ly evergreen.
