Department of Hardy Trees, Shrubs and Vines 
A Winter Scene on the Unionville Road About C 
Miles from Our Nursery 
Our forty-five years’ experience in Montana has 
enabled us to select and grow only such Trees, 
Shrubs and Vines that we have found to be hardy 
and adaptable to conditions found in Montana and 
the Northwest. This is something no other insti¬ 
tution can offer you. 
A Hedge of Japanese Barberry 
Barberry or Berberis 
Berber is Thunbcrgi— -This is the Japanese green 
Barberry. It is very beautiful, dense and low 
growing. The leaves are small, light green and 
towards Pall assume rich brilliant colors of red, 
orange and yellow. The Japanese Barberry is 
not a host for the wheat rust. 
CARE IN WATERING 
Growth should be encouraged during the 
early Summer months and ample water 
should be applied at this time. Do not merely 
wet the surface but give several successive 
applications, being sure that the water goes 
to the very lowest root extremities. About 
the last part of August and during Septem¬ 
ber water should be gradually withheld so 
that the Trees and Shrubs will have a chance 
to mature up properly for the Winter. Then 
after the leaves have fallen and the Trees 
have gone into their Winter dormant state, 
which is usually about the middle to the end 
of October, they should be heavily soaked 
with water again.
