2 -yr-old Ibolium Privet 
Box-Barberry is a new dwarf, upright and com- 
pact form of the popular Berberis Thunbergii, or Japan 
Barberry. It is perfectly hardy, thriving anywhere 
the latter will grow and does not carry wheat rust. 
In introducing Box-Barberry, we offer, to the lover 
of plants, something entirely new 7 for edging and low- 
hedge purposes. 
Not only will Box-Barberry successfully take the place of the box border in localities where Boxwood 
is not hardy, but it gives an additional autumn charm to the garden by changing the color of its foliage 
from a pleasing green to yellows and rich reds. 
When planted from four to six inch centers and kept closely trimmed, Box-Barberry forms most 
attractive edgings for borders and formal gardens. It also makes a beautiful low hedge w r hen set from six 
to tw-elve inches apart, and can be planted as foreground shrub, or trimmed into formal specimens. 
Ibolium — The New Hardy Hedge Privet 
Another introduction of ours. A cross between Ibota and Ovalifolium. This new hybrid possesses 
the attractive characteristics of California Privet, with the hardiness of Ibota. 
The original plant, now 7 standing in our nurseries, is ten years old. All stock propagated from it has remained 
uniformly vigorous, developing no constitutional weakness, or susceptibility to blight or disease. It is upright in its 
habit, with glossy, round foliage, and fills out even fuller at the bottom than does the California Privet. 
Inquire for Prices of both Box-Barberry and Ibolium Privet. 
Box-Barberry bordering path. Its usefulness for similar 
purposes is almost unlimited.
