NEW EVERGREEN BARBERRY 
BERBERIS MENTORENSIS 
A shrub of unusual artistic value, the result of a cross 
between B. Thunbergii and B. Julianae, happily combining 
the outstanding hardiness, vigor and dependability of 
Thunbergii with the evergreen foliage of Julianae. Rather 
upright grower, leaves similar to Thunbergii but of thick, 
leathery texture. Rich, deep green foliage carried thickly 
right down to the ground. Glorious fall and winter color 
progressing through gorgeous combinations of blue-green, 
metallic purples, bronzy crimsons and finally brown scar¬ 
let when the leaves fall in February. 
We have watched it in the nursery and on the grounds 
of several customers here in Fort Collins through four 
winters and feel safe in saying it is perfectly hardy under 
Western conditions. For foundation, hedge or border 
planting MENTOR BARBERRY is worthy of widest use. 
We have a small stock of heavy, twice transplanted 
shrubs that have been growing on our own grounds for 
two seasons. 18-24 in at $3.00 per 10, 24-30 inches $3.50 
per 10, 30-36 inches $4.00 per 10, 3 feet and up $5.00 per 10. 
DECIDUOUS TREES and SHRUBS 
CARAGANA ARBORESCENS 
Here’s a bargain! The Siberian Pea tree is deservedly a popu'ar 
shrub; among the first to show leaves in the spring with its showy 
yellow blooms it should be part of the backbone of every mixed 
border. As a clipped hedge it's ideal—you’re through trimming by 
late June as it makes all growth in early summer. For “facing 
down’’ windbreaks on the drylands it’s unsurpassed. Few shrubs are 
so versatile, none more hardy. 
We have a beautiful block of 3-year-old transplanted shrubs that 
we’ll grade into “heavy” and “light” classes. The “heavies’ are 
specimen quality—many branches close to the ground, stocky, large 
caliper, top-notch in every way—and offered at hedging prices. 
The “lights” are what the name implies—a little lighter calipsr, 
fewer branches—but enable you to offer hedge material much heavier 
than seedling stock, yet compete with seedlings in price.
