Berberis Mcntorensis — U. S. Patent No, 99 
STAYS GREEN PRACTICALLY THE ENTIRE YEAR 
Remarkable is just the word for it. Every once in a while a new 
plant is created of such outstanding merit that it takes the country 
by storm. 
Today we have in our nurseries several thousands of just such a 
wonder, called Berberis Mentorensis. So distinctly different and 
so superior to other hardy Barberries, that the U. S. Government 
granted us a patent on it. 
A No. 1 plants, 18 to 24 inches tall

P. S. 
Allow us to again say, it is the nearest 
reasonable cost perfect shrub for 
foundation planting and hedges that 
we know about. 
There are five outstanding points of superiority 
about this Barberry: 
First, it is evergreen practically the year around. Think 
what that means. 
Second, its sturdy, erect growth carries a thick dark green 
foliage right down to the ground. Is never bare-legged. 
Third, when used for a hedge, its thorny, strong growth 
forms a formidable barrier to man or beast. 
Fourth. Needs practically no pruning. Observe its erect 
growth which becomes dense when the plant is 3 or 4 
years old. 
Fifth. Combined in a foundation planting with ever¬ 
greens, it provides a beautiful and artistic contrast at 
very small expense and without elaborate preparation 
of soil. 
A very important trait of this Barberry 
is that it is not “choosey” about where it 
grows. No matter if you can’t make other 
broad leaf evergreens such as Azaleas and 
Rhododendrons thrive in your soil, this new 
Barberry will. It is equally at home 
whether it is acid or alkaline soil. 
Realizing the merit of this Barberry, we 
have first grown a liberal quantity of plants 
before offering it, so that we would be able 
to sell this handsome new plant of unques¬ 
tionable merit at moderate prices.
