TRUEHEDGE FOLIAGE EFFECTS 
^^•OLUMNBERRY is decidedly more dense than com¬ 
mon Japanese Barberry. In fact under natural 
untrimmed growth you cannot see into or through 
plants of Truehedge even when sizes as small as 9 to 
12 inches are observed. The leaves are larger and 
thicker in appearance, deeper green, glossier and 
healthier, and they are distributed with density and 
evenness right to the ground. 
Fall Coloring of Columnberry is richer and deeper 
than the shadings of common Barberry. 
Unsurpassed semi-formal hedge is had when Col¬ 
umnberry is grown naturally as shown in this photo¬ 
graph. The picture below presents a two year old 18 
inch branch, showing the fascinating branchlet char¬ 
acter of Truehedge. Ten or more branchlets are 
usually thickly studded along 
the stem, all stiffly vertical 
and densely set with foliage. 
This is part of the secret of 
Columnberry's suberb den¬ 
sity estimated to be triple 
that of Japanese Barberry.
