CHINESE ELM HEDGE 
A new hedge that is already in great favor. Ex¬ 
tremely hardy and drought resistant; quick, com¬ 
pact grower, covered with artistic, fine leaves from 
early spring until late in the fall. Requires close 
pruning two or three times a year, and can be kept 
medium low for a boundary hedge, but is especially 
suitable for 6 to 10 foot screens and background 
hedges. Plant 1 foot apart; set the plants deeply 
and cut the tops back close to the ground.

TRUEHEDGE COLUMNBERRY 
Plant Patent No. 110. 
(Berberis thunbergi pluriflora erecta) 
The new, sensational Barberry, three times as 
dense as the Japanese Barberry, the thick branches 
in close, vertical formation, and very thickly 
covered from the ground up with large, deep 
green glossy leaves. An excellent hedge of semi- 
formal appearance is developed from the un¬ 
trimmed plants, while five minutes pruning will 
result in a formal, compact hedge of boxwood 
lines, giving it the nickname “Boxwood Bar¬ 
berry.” 
Single specimens, with a few minutes shearing, 
are created into superb garden subjects—classic 
spires for entrances and formal gardens, or any 
sort of artistic shape for those who delight in the 
unusual. Perfectly hardy, immune from rust; in 
autumn, scarlet berries and deep red leaves add 
to the beauty of the plant.

A MUCH BETTER HEDuE 
BERBERIS MENTORENSIS 
Plant Patent No. 99 
Its most valuable attribute is its ability to with¬ 
stand heat and drought. Few other shrubs or hedge 
plants are able to go without water and withstand 
intense heat as Barberry Mentorensis and look as 
well. During the hottest weather there is never 
any sign of wilting or burning. 
Bushy young stock, 12 to 15 inches tall: 
Three, $1.00; twelve, $3.00; 100, $20.00. 
Bushy plants, 15 to 18 inches tall: 
Three, $1.20; twelve, $3.50; 100, $25.00. 
How to Plant. Dig trench 12 inches deep or more and set the plants two to three inches 
deeper than they stood in the nursery row, or deep enough so the lower branches will be 
two to three inches under the ground. Such deep line planting will make a compact hedge 
down to the ground, but if the plants are set shallow there will always be undesirable open 
spaces at the base of the hedge. Set in a single row six to eight inches apart. Cut Privet 
back to six inches when planting to promote thick new growth at lower part of plant.
