PRIVET 
California (Ovalifolium) —A well-known and 
popular variety, is a vigorous grower, with deep 
green foliage. It is used much for hedges and 
borders, but will winterkill occasionally in the 
colder sections, though in the South generally 
it is very nearly an evergreen.

Atnoor River Privet (Evergreen)— This is a 
fast growing hedge either in sun or shade, and 
bears trimming into any desired shape. We 
hold this stock in storage until July and August 
from which we can make prompt shipment of 
plants that will prove satisfactory. Several 
years ago in July we shipped 2,000 to a Georgia 
nurseryman, who afterwards wrote us that he 
never had better success, that it all lived and 
grew off nicely. Per 10 Per 100 Per 1000

We can supply small well rooted and branch¬ 
ed plants, every one a fine little plant, delivered 
prepaid to any address, at $5.00 per hundred. 
The only difference in these and the 12 to 18 
inch stock as listed above is that they are little 
smaller plants, but stocky, little fellows. We 
sell lots of them, as they soon make a pretty 
hedge, and for long distance there is some sav¬ 
ing in transportation charges. 
Privet —Northern type. Amoor River north 
—This variety is not an evergreen, but it is 
the kind that is hardy in Minnesota and other 
like cold climates. In habit of growth it is very 
much like the old California privet but does 
not winterkill and is a most valuable variety, 
which is fast taking the place of California.

Tlninberg’s Barberry—A beautiful shrub that 
is hardy anywhere. Even in cold Alberta, Can¬ 
ada, where for months during the winter, the 
thermometer hovers around 40 degrees below, 
one of our customers grows it successfully. It 
has small, round, bright green leaves changing 
in autumn to a beautiful shade of orange-scar¬ 
let and crimson. Little yellow blooms in the 
spring are followed by a profusion of beauti¬ 
ful red berries which hang on during the win¬ 
ter. After the leaves are gone, these berries 
give a most attractive appearance and for low 
hedges or border there is no better plant in 
existence. 
This shrub needs no trimming and grows to 
a height of 2 y 2 feet. It is used much in group 
planting while for hedges it should be planted 
about 10 inches apart. If the weeds are kept 
back and the soil well cultivated for one or two 
seasons, it can be left alone when it will grow 
into a shapely, sightly drooping hedge or 
border. Per 10 Per 100 Per 1000

Japajiese Barberry, Red-leaved (Berberis 
Thunbergi Atropurpurea) —Similar in all re¬ 
spects to the green-leaved Japanese Barberry 
which is so popular among shrubbery borders, 
clumps on the lawn, foundation plantings and 
for hedges, but the foliage is of a rich, lustrous, 
bronzy red, which in the fall changes to vivid 
orange and scarlet shades. It is followed by 
the same brilliant scarlet berries as the common 
barberry which remain on the plant the entire 
winter. 
To develop its brilliant color it must be 
planted in full exposure to the sun. It is the 
most popular of the late introductions and is 
a wonderful addition as it can be used more or 
less among all plantings to a great advantage.
