BERBERIS mentorensis (Plant Patent No. 99) is a brand new variety 
of strong, rugged upright growth, forming a perfect hedge much quicker 
and infinitely more beautiful than Japanese Barbeiry. Its ability 
to withstand heat and drought alone strongly recommend its exten¬ 
sive use. During the hottest weather there is never a sign of wilting 
or burning and its foliage is just as dark a green as Japanese Yew. 
it will hold its foliage until Midwinter and in protected places is almost 
evergreen.

Heather is a famous plant in the history and folklore of almost all 
northern European people. In Europe it is one of the commonest weeds, 
covering hundreds of square miles of mountain and upland plains with 
a dense feathery, green growth, breaking into exquisite masses of flowers 
of the utmost delicacy. Here it is a rock garden plant to be treated with 
utmost respect. Heather likes sour soil, open sun and a fair share of 
moisture.
