MichclI’s Choice Thrifty Hedge Plants 
New Red-Leaved Barberry 
Similar in all respects to the green-leaved 
Barberry which is so popular for mixing 
in the shrubbery border, as single speci¬ 
mens, or for planting in clumps on the 
lawn, as well as for foundation planting and 
for hedges, but the foliage of this new variety 
is of a rich, lustrous, bronzy red, similar to 
the richest red-leaved Japanese maples. As 
the season advances, this new Barberry 
becomes more brilliant and gorgeous through¬ 
out the summer and in the fall its foliage 
changes to vivid orange, scarlet, and red 
shades. All that is required to develop its 
brilliant coloring at all seasons is that it be 
planted in full exposure to the sun. 
Strong, 1-yr. plants, 15 to 18 in., 35c. each; 
3 for $1.00; $3.50 per doz.; per 100, $25.00. 
Berberis Thunbergi 
vidually in lawn or border. The slender 
branches are prickly, with small thorns, and 
tend to make a defensive hedge that few 
animals will attempt to penetrate. In 
autumn the foliage is a bright crimson; when 
it falls, a profusion of scarlet berries, which 
remain throughout the winter, are revealed 
on the branches. E^ch Doz. 100

Truehedge Columnberry 
Berberis Thunbergi pluriflora erecta 
Plant Patent No. 110 
Many people on seeing Columnberry have 
mistaken it for boxwood on account of its 
formal shape and dense, deep green foliage, 
which is distributed evenly right to the 
ground. During the summer the branches 
become heavily set with berries which turn 
to a bright scarlet in the fall and remain 
during the winter, making it one of our t^st 
berried shrubs. It is absolutely hardy, having 
withstood 26 degrees below zero last winter 
without the slightest damage. We predict a 
bright future for Truehedge Columnberry as 
it ma-es a hedge quickly, requires practically 
no trimming; it can also be grown into perfect 
pyramids or box-shaped specimens that can 
be used as formal accent plants. 
Strong, 12 to 15-in. plants, 35c. each; 3 for 
$1.00; $3.50 per doz.; per 100, $25.00. Strong, 
15 to 18-in. plants, 50c. each; 3 for $1.35; 
$5.00 per doz.; per 100, $40.00. 
Barberry 
A good hardy plant of low, dense growth. 
There is an air of grace and refinement to the 
Barberry bush which is not embodied in any 
other hedge plant. It is a brilliant light green 
from early spring to winter and should be 
regarded as a shrub as it can be planted indi-

Golden or Variegated Privet 
Like the California variety, but each leaf 
is margined and blotched golden yellow, 
giving it, from a distance, a striking appear¬ 
ance. We recommend it especially for placing 
among shrubbery or for planting on the 
lawn. The contrast between the grass and 
golden foliage is beautiful. Bushy plants, 
60c. each. 
California Privet 
The most popular of all hedge plants. 
Being absolutely hardy, it increases in beauty 
with each successive year. Plants should be 
set 1 foot apart in double rows, in zig-zag 
fashion, so that the plants are diagonally 
opposite each other. This practically places 
them 6 Inches apart, which is desirable to get 
a quick, dense growth. Plant from October 
15 till the ground freezes, and from March 15 
to May 15. 
I-yr., 1H to 2-ft. plants, $1.25 per doz.; 
per 100, $6.00; $50.00 per 1000. 2-yr., 2 to
