Introducing ... 
Truehedge Columnberry 
U. S. Plant Patent No. 110, After Oct. 23, 1934 
Dear Friend:— 
Do you know that the Cole Nursery Company is about 
to introduce to the public the most sensational plant origination of 
the decade? 
For years past you have wished for a semi-dwarf hedge plant of 
columnar habit having the hardiness, the beautiful autumn coloring, 
the bright red berries, and the protective thorn of the Berberis thun- 
bergi; and since the severe winter of 1933-34 which has proven so dis¬ 
astrous to many of the close clipped hedges, this long felt want has 
been intensified. 
With the introduction of our Truehedge Columnberry (Berberis 
t. pluriflora erecta,) your wish for a plant having the beauty and erect 
columnar habit of the Boxwood combined with all the good things 
mentioned above has been fulfilled. 
This plant is already a huge success as since the “National Con¬ 
vention/’ in July, when it was first shown, the leading Nurseries of 
the United States have placed orders for more than 125,000 plants. 
You are cordially invited to inspect our test grounds where this 
sensation has been growing for the past several years and without 
protection surviving the most severe winter of twenty years without 
even the tender ends of the twigs showing winter damage. 
Cordially yours, 
THE COLE NURSERY COMPANY
