Development and Discovery of 
TRUEHEDGE COLUMNBERRY 
by M. H. Horvath, Originator 
Mr. M. H. Horvath retired from his active landscape activity in the year 1918, 
and since that time has devoted his entire time to the development of new, worth¬ 
while plants with the constant purpose in mind of making the world a more beau¬ 
tiful place to live in. Early in his career he spent eleven years in the service of the 
City of Cleveland as designer and adviser to the Park Board, carrying on the 
activities of the Landscaping Department of the City Parks. Then, for a number 
of years, Mr. Horvath devoted his time to a private practice in both Forestry and 
Landscape Architecture. He developed and maintained during this period many of 
the great estates, both private and public, in the City of Cleveland and in the 
eastern section of the United States. 
During his work in one of these large estates he discovered one day a form of 
Berberis Thunbergi pluriflora with a strong tendency toward erect growth. He 
picked the seed from this plant and from the seedlings grown selected the most up¬ 
right types from which he again picked the seed. This process was repeated until the 
fifth generation wherein Mr. Horvath found the perfect, spire-like plant that he was 
seeking and which is now offered to you as 
TRUEHEDGE COLUMNBERRY

LETTER RECENTLY RECEIVED BY INTRODUCERS OF TRUEHEDGE COLUMNBERRY 
My Dear Sirs: July 23, 1934. 
I was very much thrilled at the sight of seeing your new Pyramidal Barberry on display during the Nurserymen’s 
Convention at the Hotel New Yorker last week. It looks as though it is one of those plants that will sweep the country very 
quickly. The original type is far from being an ideal hedge plant because of its sprawling, spreading habit. This new, upright 
variant has wonderful possibilities for formal hedges and will surely be a welcome acquisition to practical plant material. 
Yours faithfully, LEONARD BARRON Horticultural Editor 
Mr. Leonard Barron, one of our country’s leading authorities on 'horticultural subjects, is Horticultural Editor of 
Country Life and of The American Home, and is especially well qualified to judge.
