TRUEHEDGE BARBERRY 
Has Proven Its Merit! 
Many people when seeing TRUE- 
HEDGE mistook it for a boxwood hedge 
because of the symmetrical upright 
shape and heavy dense deep green foli¬ 
age. The specimen plants of TRUEHEDGE growing in our 
flower garden this year again caused more favorable comment 
than any other new plant growing there. 
Nature Sheared Tailor-Made Hedge 
TRUEHEDGE is so perfectly upright and pyramidal in 
shape that an Immediate hedge effect is secured. Grows nat¬ 
urally more dense and heavier in foliage than the Japanese 
Barberry. Perfectly winter hardy, dry weather resistant and 
free from rust too. 
Many use TRUEHEDGE as a pyramidal growing specimen 
plant in place of narrow upright Evergreens. It can be grown 
into perfect spires and pyramids to a height of about 5 feet. 
It is cheaper than an Evergreen for pyramidal effect. Practi¬ 
cally no trimming is required if you plant a hedge of TRUE¬ 
HEDGE Barberry. Plant Patent 110.

Barberry 
BARBERRY THUNBERGI (Japanese), Will grow anywhere. 
Foliage is a bright green. The oval leaves turn to most bril¬ 
liant colors of orange and reddish-bronze in the Fall. Our 
Mayfair Park has a hedge of this beautiful Japanese Bar¬ 
berry bordering its edges. Slender, graceful branches pro¬ 
tected by thorns; filled with scarlet berries from early Au¬ 
tumn into Winter. It can be used as a filler and edging for 
shrubbery groups; as a foundation screen in front of 
porches; and as a compact, hardy, low hedge for lawn 
purposes. Can be trimmed to any shape. Does not 
carry rust. Grows well in partial shade or full sun.

Your Planting Troubles Are Over 
Experienced men in my Nursery Depart¬ 
ment prune your shrubs correctly for 
transplanting. This pruning insures for 
you a quick start and vigorous root growth 
and top growth the first year. My shrubs 
are all full sized, well rooted, heavy plants, 
ready to set out when you get them. 12 to 
18 in. and 18 to 24 in. shrubs are usually 
two or three year old plants with many 
branches or canes. The 2 to 3 ft. and 3 to 
4 ft. shrubs are usually heavier and are 
three to four years old.

tically everywhere, is hardy and always 
flowers so abundantly. White flowers in 
large snowball clusters. The picture is 
of a bush in my backyard which was

pruning looked like a big snowbank. I 
counted more than 5,000 blooms on this 
one plant. 12-18 in., 30c each; 18-24 in., 
40c each; 2-3 ft., 50c each.
