Dwarf Barberry as a Hedge Plant 
habit, if planted in the front of other 
shrubs, it takes away any ragged effect, 
making only a mass of green visible to 
the eye. It is also used extensively for 
planting in the comers where sidewalks 
meet. For a hedge not over 2 or 3 feet 
high this makes a very desirable shrub. 
We recommend it highly. 
Dwarf Barberry Not Subject to Rust 
It is only the common Barberry (Ber- 
beris vulgaris), and its horticultural 
varieties such as the purple-leaved one 
that arc affected by the stem rust, Ber- 
beris Thunbergii being immune. 
Green's Nursery Co.: I received the California 
privet hedge and find it very satisfactory and 
growing fine. Thank you for the prompt ship- 
ment. Irvin* C. Behx, Williamsport, Pa. 
Why not add a Spiraea Billardi to your 
order? You will find it a great addition 
to your collection of flowering shrubs. 
The blossom is a beautiful red. 
Dwarf Barberry. (. B - Thunbergii.) Veiy attrac- 
--f— five, neat and dense in growth 
yet graceful because of its drooping branches. It produces 
yellow flowers in the summer which are followed by scarlet 
fruit, borne in dense profusion on the long stems and clinging 
throughout most of the winter. The leaves color to scarlet 
and gold. This is a very attractive shrub for planting as 
single specimens on or about a lawn, or for planting in the 
comers nearby the house or porch or along the base of the 
wall to take away the bleak, barren effect of the wall. Dwarf 
Barberry is also used extensively for planting on borders 
in connection with other shrubs, for owing to its dwarfish 
Norwa y Spruce is not excelled as an easily grown 
--:---- evergreen tree. Most people in 
planting evergreens want something that does not require 
much attention. The Norway spruce fills the bill in this 
respect and is an object of continuous delight. It varies in 
its color and appearance as the summer progresses, the new 
growth being of lighter hue, turning darker later in the 
season. Single specimens are attractive or groups. When 
covered with snow they are particularly admired. For 
hedging there are few trees superior to Norway spruce. It can 
be kept very low by continuous pruning, or if left unpruned it 
will make a windbreak which will almost throttle the hurricane.
