This new dwarf Barberry comes to fill a long-felt need for an 
edging plant that is dwarf in growth, free from all diseases and 
insect pests, and absolutely hardy everywhere in the United States. 
The foliage is small and dainty. The young leaves are a beautiful 
emerald-green in the spring, changing to a pleasing, soft green 
during the summer and bright red in the fall. In many parts of 
this country, garden-beds had to be bordered annually or not at 
all, as there was no perfectly hardy edging plant to use, but now 
no garden need be incomplete on this account.

this neat, upright, hardy, little shrub. Our illustration shows how 
neat a garden can be. Plant 4 inches apart for a low border and 
keep the plants pruned to whatever height you want. They can 
be trimmed at any time without injury. The one-year size is 
best for using in garden borders. Price, i-yr. size, $3 for 10, 
postpaid; $20 per 100 □. 2-yr. size, 75 cts. each, postpaid or

COMMON 
BARBERRY 
The U. S. Govern¬ 
ment has requested 
that every possible 
plant of the Common 
Barberry be destroyed 
because it harbors a 
pest that is injurious 
to the wheat crop. 
This does not apply 
to the Japan Bar¬ 
berry, which the 
Government urges 
you to plant. 
“JAPAN BARBERRY HARMLESS” 
An extract from a letter distributed by U. S. 
Department of Agriculture 
“The Japan Barberry (Berberis Thunbergii) 
does not rust; it is harmless and need not be 
destroyed. It is more beautiful, both in sum¬ 
mer and winter, than the common Barberry 
and can be distinguished from it quite easily. 
The edges of the leaves of the common Bar¬ 
berry are toothed, while those of the Japan 
Barberry are not; the spines of the common 
variety are usually in groups of three, while 
those of the Japan are usually single. Both 
have red berries, but those of the common 
form are borne in racemes like currants, 
while those of the Japan form are borne 
singly like gooseberries.” Plant a Hedge.
