Barberry Hedge 



Hedge Plants 



Barberry (Berberis) 



Japanese (B. Tbunbergi). This shrub 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 ex- 

 tremely hardy and requires but little pruning. Ornamental and 

 graceful the year around. For hedges, set plants 1 foot apart. 

 Extra-strong plants, 40 cts. each; %4 per doz.; $25 per 100. 



New Red-leaved Japanese {B. Tbunbergi atropurpurea) . Similar 

 toB. Tbunbergi, it has foliage of a lustrous, bronzy red, like the 

 best Japanese maples. Unlike other color shrubs, which fade as 

 the season advances, it becomes more brilliant through the 

 summer, and in fall changes to vivid orange, scarlet, and red, 

 more brilliant and effective than the ordinary Japanese Barberry. 

 It bears the same brilliant scarlet berries as the type, and they 

 remain on the plant the entire winter. All that is required to 

 develop its brilliant color at all seasons is jull exposure to the sun. 

 This is important. Extra-strong plants, $1 each; $10 per doz. 



Privet (Ligustrum) 



California (L. ovalifolium) . This is the favorite hedge plant and 

 when so used should be planted 6 inches apart and cut back 

 about 6 inches above the ground. Extra-selected 2-ft. plants, 

 $1 for 10; $7 per 100; $55 per 1,000. 



Regel (L. ibota Regelianum). A low, dense shrub, with almost 

 horizontally spreading branches. The small white flowers

 black fruits often remaining throughout the winter. It will
