Thunberg's Barberry (Berberis ThunbergU) 



If you want a hedge that will give your grounds a really natural effect, plant 

 Thunberg's Barberry. If allowed to grow without pruning or training in any 

 way, it will form a compact mass so dense that even a cat can't get through 

 it. The picture above gives an idea of what it looks hke when allowed to grow 

 without trimming. 



For a low hedge Thunberg's Barberry stands at the head of the list. The 

 leaves are small, light green, and toward fall turn to various colors which produce 

 a ver>' pleasing aspect. In fall this handsome plant bears a profusion of bright 

 red berries which remain through the winter, making Thunberg's Barberr}- 

 equally beautiful in summer or winter. This Barberry is without doubt one of 

 the best hedge plants and one that requires no attention, as it can be pruned 

 or not at the owner's discretion. Barberry is fully as hardy as California 

 Privet, and has points of advantage not possessed by other hedge plants.
