Columnberry plant. 
New erect form of Barberry which grows upward instead of spread¬ 
ing out like other Barberry. Has thick, tough leaves, produced 
very densely. Retains foliage until winter. Leaves color bright 
scarlet in Fall and loads of red berries hang on all Winter. True-

it in two years. 
Truehedge plants are drought-resistant. Winter-hardy, thrive on 
all soils, are rust-immune, and slashing winds do not affect them 
because of their dense growth. Slight clipping twice a year keeps 
hedges and plants formal and tidy. No other care required. Can 
quickly be clipped to resemble expensive boxwood. Lovely for 
formal effect in porch pots, at corners, etc. Free circular on 
request, showing many uses. Plant patent No. 110.

Prized for FRUIT and FOLIAGE 
Shapely, ornamental shrub, with long, 
pointed gray-green leaves, silvery be¬ 
neath. Turn bright red in autumn. 
Grows medium height. Covered with 
snow-white flowers in Spring, followed by cherry-sized maroon- 
purple fruits. Delicious as sweet cherries to eat out of the hand. 
Also valuable for making jelly, jam and juice. 
The bushes produce enormous crops of fruit, which is harvested 
for market purposes in localities where sweet cherries are not 
hardy. Bush Cherries are hardy everywhere, and thrive on 
poorest soils without special care. Plant a row in your garden 
or along the lot line for shrubs. You’ll enjoy them immensely!
