Thun berg’s Barberry (Berberis Thunbergii) 
If you want a hedge that will give your grounds a really natural 
effect, plant Thunberg’s Barberry. If allowed to grow without 
pruning or training in any way, it will form a compact mass so 
dense that even a cat can’t get through it. 
For a. low hedge Thunberg’s Barberry stands at the head 
of the list. The leaves are small, light green, and toward fall 
turn to various colors which produce a very pleasing aspect. In fall this hand¬ 
some plant bears a profusion of bright red berries which remain through the 
winter. This Barberry, is without doubt one of the best hedge plants and one 
that requires no attention, as it can be pruned or not at the owner’s discretion. 
Barberry is fully as hardy as California Privet, and has points of advantage not 
possessed by other hedge plants. See illustration in color on back cover.

Purple-leaved Barberry. The habit of growth is similar to all the Barberries, 
but the foliage is strongly tinted with purple. 2 to 3 ft., 50 cts. each 
$4 for 10. 
American Arborvitae ( Thuya occidentalis) 
Excellent for hedges but equally adaptable for specimens, masses and screens. 
See page 26 for illustration, description and prices. 
Few trees are so useful as American Arborvitae. For hedges, as specimens, or in 
masses it is equally handsome. A screen of American Arborvitae, like the one shown, is 
attractive and useful.
