FILLER TLANTS • DECIDUOUS SHRUBS 
BARBERRY 
A well-known family of beautiful and useful 
shrubs. Mostly compact, some are gracefully arch¬ 
ing. Some have colored leaves; nearly all have 
brilliant fall foliage. Some have conspicuous yellow 
blossoms, all have scarlet fruit which remains until 
early winter at least. Their thorny branches make 
the Barberries excellent plants for protective hedges. 
Truehedge Columnberry 
Berberis thunbergi pluriflora erecta 
(TJ. S. Plant Patent No. 110) 
(Propagation Rights Reserved) 
A wonderful new improvement of the old depend¬ 
able Japanese Barberry, developed by five genera¬ 
tions of breeding and selection. It has every good 
point of its parent type—its hardiness, tenacity of 
life under trying conditions, and adaptability to 
wide variations of soils and exposures. 
Besides this it has other advantages of its own. 
TRUEHEDGE COLUMNBERRY has darker foli¬ 
age than the Japanese Barberry, remaining dark in 
spite of severe drought; its fall color is even richer 
and deeper; and its scarlet berries are borne with 
still greater profusion. But most important of all 
of the advantages of TRUEHEDGE COLUMN¬ 
BERRY is its perfect habit of growth; its dense, 
erect, bushy, columnar shape, which makes a 
perfect hedge the instant it is planted, and needs 
little or no pruning to keep it perfect. While more 
expensive to purchase, it is actually cheaper in the 
end, by virtue of the saving in pruning labor, and 
you don’t have to wait years for the hedge to 
develop its form. 
WARNING. Home gardeners have been awaiting 
just some such plant for years; they are buying it 
greedily. The supply is limited; if you want yours, 
order early. Each 10 100
