Truehedge Columnberry 
U. S. Plant Patent 
No. no 
Erect, Compact Hedges Made Quickly and with Little Trimming! Very Hardy! 
A sensational new form of Berberis Thunbergii that 
you will want, either as an individual shrub alongside 
the porch, as a group of several in your front lawn, 
or that you will want as a hedge! 
Immediate Effect 
In either case, Truehedge Columnberry grows so per¬ 
fectly upright and so beautifully pyramidal in shape, that 
much less time is needed to acquire a hedge three feet 
high, or an individual plant, than was formerly the case. 
Note its shapely upright growth, in the illustration, com¬ 
pared with Berberis Thunbergii, which requires 3 to 4 
years to reach a height of 3 feet, because of its lateral 
growth. 
Dense Green Foliage 
Truehedge 
Columnberry 
and 
Common Berberis 
Thunbergii 
Truehedge Columnberry has wonderfully dense and 
heavy foliage, with glossy, healthy leaves a deep shade 
of green. The foliage is distributed evenly and densely 
starting right at the ground, producing a lovely effect 
either singly or in a hedge. Many people upon seeing 
Columnberry have mistaken it for Boxwood because of 
its formal shape and its dense deep green foliage. 
Scarlet Foliage in Fall 
If is covered with brilliant red berries in the fall of 
the year and the foliage turns to showy scarlet, creating 
a beautiful effect. The berries persist on the plant until 
far into winter. If you are familiar with Berberis or 
Barberry, you will want Truehedge, and if not familiar 
with Berberis, plant some Truehedge for real genuine 
satisfaction. It is rust immune. 
A New Style in Landscaping 
Shear Truehedge Columnberry to any shape you desire! 
Some beautiful effects may be had. Plant several True¬ 
hedge this year and next year you can shear them as 
shown in the illustration. Truehedge can easily be grown 
into perfect spires and pyramids to a height of 4 to 5 
feet. Normally, it grows about one-third wide as it is 
high and many people plant two to four in a group to 
obtain a formal effect. Truehedge gives you the same 
effect at low cost that is to be had with expensive Box¬ 
wood! And, it thrives and succeeds almost everywhere! 
Let Truehedge now bring that beautiful formal effect to 
your very own yard. 
The New Hedge Plant 
Perfectly hardy, withstanding 
30° below zero without a tip freez¬ 
ing, perfect upright growth, per¬ 
fect dense green foliage turning to 
scarlet in fall,—Truehedge Col¬ 
umnberry is the last word in a 
hedge plant. If you need a row 
of shrubs along a driveway, along 
a walk, along your boundary line, 
or to replace a fence or if you want 
to replace your present hedge, 
plant Truehedge Columnberry! 
Set the plants 15 inches apart. 
Notice in the illustration how 
beautifully the rows of plants 
sheared. You can do this next 
year with your own hedge! Ev-
