TRUEHEDGE 
COLUMN BERRY 
Plant Patent No. 110 
I NTRODUCED in 1934, Truehedge Columnberry has already become the 
greatest plant introduction in more than a decade. So far, over 250,000 
plants have been sold. 
No plant has such wide range of use as the Columnberry. It is an especially 
welcome acquisition in the colder regions, invaluable as accent plants and in 
other ways in place of Arborvitae or Boxwood, where those evergreens will not 
thrive because of adverse conditions such as severe weather, poor soil, shade, 
exposure, etc. 
It rapidly attains mature size, an all-important characteristic where immediate 
effects are desired. 
Why work and wait three or four years for a hedge when immediate-effect 
hedges are obtained from the day Columnberry is planted, the small 9-inch size 
being just as perfect a spire as the larger sizes. 
Columnberry saves labor and expense because practically all the trimming 
required is simple, infrequent clipping across the top of the hedge at the desired 
height. No more unsightly, ragged stubs up and down the sides of the hedge to 
tear clothing. The sides of a Columnberry hedge are covered with smooth foliage. 
Columnberry is so dense that you cannot see through the plants; the 
are larger and thicker in appearance than f - 3 ™-— 
Japanese Barberry; they are deeper green, 
glossier and healthier, and are distributed 
with evenness right to the ground; and 
Columnberry is immune to rust. 
Another valuable characteristic of Col¬ 
umnberry is the brilliant color of the autumn 
foliage which is much more intense than any 
of the old Barberries. This vivid scarlet 
coloring is seen at its best on a specimen 
plant; one trained as a column or spire is a 
veritable pillar of fire for several weeks.
