MICHELL’S CHOICE THRIFTY HEDGE PLANTS 
NEW RED-LEAVED 
JAPANESE BARBERRY 
Similar in all respects to the green-leaved Japanese Barberry 
which is so popular for mixing in the shrubbery border as single 
specimens, or for planting in clumps on the lawn as well as for 
foundation plantings and for hedges, but the foliage of this 
new variety is of a rich, lustrous, bronzy-red, similar to the richest 
red-leaved Japanese Maples. However, unlike these and other 
colored shrubs in which the coloring fades or disappears entirely 
as the season advances, this new Barberry becomes more brilliant 
and gorgeous throughout the Summer, and in the Fall its foliage 
changes to vivid orange, scarlet, and red shades, more brilliant and 
more effective than in the ordinary Japanese Barberry. In this 
coloring it is unequalled by any other shrub and is followed by the 
same brilliant scarlet berries common to the type, which remain on 
the plant the entire Winter. 
All that is required to develop its brilliant coloring at all 
seasons is that it be planted in full exposure to the sun.

BERBERIS THUNBERGII (Japanese Barberry) 
A good hardy plant of low dense growth. It is a brilliant light 
green from early Spring to Winter; it should be regarded as a 
shrub, as it can be planted individually in lawn or border. The 
slender branches are prickly, with small thorns, and tend to make 
a defensive hedge that few animals will attempt to penetrate. In 
Autumn the foliage is a bright crimson; when it falls a profusion of 
scarlet berries, which remain throughout the Winter, are revealed 
on the branches.

CALIFORNIA PRIVET 
The most popular of all Hedge Plants. Being absolutely 
hardy, it increases in beauty with each successive year. Plants 
should be set 12 inches apart in double rows, in zigzag fashion, so 
that the plants are diagonally opposite each other; this practically 
places them 6 inches apart, which is desirable to get a thick, dense 
growth. Plant from October 15th till the ground freezes, and from 
March 15th to May 15th.
