Thunberg's Barberry 



Berberis Thunbergii 



This is 

 NOT 



the host 



for Wheat 



Rust, and 



can safely 



be planted 



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. 



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 very pleasing aspect. In fall this hand- 

 some plant bears a profusion of bright red berries which remain through the 

 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 absolutely hardy. You need not fear that it will winter-kill at all. 

 It will stand trimming, but does not need it even for wonderfully fine hedges, 

 unless your space is very small. Along a walk, driveway, or even as a boundary 

 hedge Barberry can be used to great advantage, whether you trim it or permit 

 it to grow as nature intended. On account of the dense and horizontal-growing 

 branches, the plants make a thick hedge.
