. . THE BOOK OF 
New Hedge 
Truehedge Columnberry 
(Berberis Thunbergi Pluriflora Erecta) 
For years thousands and thousands of 
people have wanted beautiful hedges 
around their homes but have been dis¬ 
couraged by the thought of the labor 
required. Hedges, to be beautiful, 
needed pruning and trimming and this 
required backbreaking, hand-blistering 
labor with perhaps only mediocre re- 
results; or the expense of a skilled gar¬ 
dener was required. 
Now, comes a new hedge plant that 
eliminates pruning and trimming almost 
entirely. Only an occasional and in¬ 
frequent snip here and there is all that 
is necessary. 
PRICES (9" to 12" plants): 
2 for 80c; 10 for $3.00; 100 for 
$25.00. 
Saves Labor! 
Here is a hedge plant that 
knows how to be beautiful of its 
own accord—keeps itself neat, 
well groomed and orderly at all 
times—makes a beautiful hedge 
a thing of easy and sure accom¬ 
plishment. Just plant it in rows 
and your hedge is established 
and stays established. 
Other hedge plants require three to 
four years of care before the desired 
effect is achieved. This new hedge is so 
perfectly upright and beautifully pyrami¬ 
dal in shape that perfect hedge effects 
are obtained immediately. 
PRICES (12" to 15" plants): 
2 for $1.00; 10 for $4.00; 100 
for $35.00. 
Truehedge is Beautiful! 
Because Truehedge Columnberry 
requires so little trimming it is at all 
times beautiful. With other Barberry, 
ugly, bare branches are exposed with 
trimming. With Truehedge Column¬ 
berry the beautiful green leaves at all 
times screen the woody growth. Foli¬ 
age is dense, heavy, and evenly dis¬ 
tributed from the ground up. Leaves 
are much larger and thicker and of a 
much deeper, glossier, healthier shade 
of green than common Japanese Bar¬ 
berry. Takes on a rich, deep red col¬ 
oring in fall, surpassing any other 
Barberry—no yellow. 
In winter beautiful red berries ap¬ 
pear profusely, groups of 3 to 10 ber¬ 
ries instead of 1 to 3 as with ordinary 
Barberry—a year-round beauty! 
Truehedge is Hardy— 
Drought Resistant! 
Has withstood 26 degrees below 
z,ero. Does not discolor during terrific 
heat and drouth—comes through! 
Truehedge is Healthy 
So free from disease that it is not 
subject to Federal Quarantine regula¬ 
tions as applied to common Barberry. 
Does not rust.
