Gentlemen:— 
We purchased a quantity of Truehedge Column- 
berry late last Spring and used it in formal work in 
several of our down-town parks, and find that in 
spite of the lateness of planting and the adverse grow¬ 
ing conditions, that all the plants show a very good 
growth. 
It would appear that you have developed a very 
fine plant from the standpoint of neat appearance, 
good foliage and color, and low maintenance cost, 
and we will not hestitate to use more as the need arises. 
Yours very truly, 
(Signed) Paul A. Wells, 
City Forester 
Note — Mr. Wells used over 1000 Truehedge and as 
he states above, ” all show a very good growth”. 
Evidently none died. Truehedge transplants readily.

Gentlemen :■— 
I am glad to report that these plants are growing 
very well and seem to be entirely free from disease. 
They are a good variety and our impression is that 
they will make a better hedge than most of the other 
species. 
Very truly yours, 
(Signed) Martin F. Noonan

GLEN BROTHERS, INC. 
Rochester, New York 
Gentlemen:—Acknowledging your valued favor 
of September 27th we are pleased to advise that the 
775 Truehedge Columnberry which you shipped us 
last spring were used on a landscape project which 
we handled. Our supervising landscape architect in¬ 
spected this planting about the second week in August 
at which time he stated that every plant was alive and 
had made a good growth. Our landscape architect re¬ 
gards Truehedge as one of the finest things that he has 
ever used for hedge purposes and we feel that he will 
be using good quantities in our plantings from time 
to time. 
Yours very truly, 
(Signed) R. A. Mayo,

Dear Sirs:— 
Those Truehedge barberries purchased from you 
about six weeks ago have progressed so rapidly that 
I feel impelled to write you about them. 
The 90 bushes furnished are now a complete and 
very satisfactory hedge. Not a single bush was lost— 
in fact every one has shown healthy growth. Trimming 
is entirely unnecessary, and it seems as though the 
characteristic of these columnberries in throwing shoots 
upright rather than sideways will render only very 
infrequent, if any, clipping desirable. 
All in all, the plants have given greater satis¬ 
faction than I can relate in a few words. It is neces¬ 
sary to see the hedge to get a true picture of its beauty. 
Sincerely yours, 
(Signed) L. E. Jermy, 
Chairman, Cleveland Section,

Gentlemen:— 
In spite of the fact that we have some very stiff 
wind here at times, which whips most plants to death, 
and our only soil is that which we have trucked in to 
cover the sand, every plant is growing. 
Truehedge Columnberry makes a very attractive 
and servicable hedge and has improved our grounds 
immensely. 
Yours very truly, 
(Signed) M. G. McCune
