USEFUL ORNAMENTAL HEDGES 
Beautiful hedges add much to the appearance of a property, and are everywhere coming into more general use. They look better

JAPAN BARBERRY 
(Berberis Thunbergii) Hardy Everywhere 
Look around, next time you go out, and note the difference 
between a property with a neatly kept hedge and a hedgeless 
one. A hedge, even when young and just planted, increases the 
value of the property at once and out of all proportion to the cost

Japan Barberry is the ideal shrub and hedge plant, gracefully 
beautiful in summer, with its arching thorny branches thickly 
covered with small, fine, rich green leaves, which change in the 
autumn to a unique fiery crimson. Its pretty, drooping, yellow 
flowers are followed by clusters of brilliant red berries that re¬ 
main after the leaves are gone and delight the birds. 
Buyers for important park systems come to us for Barberry,
