“MENTOR BARBERRY” 
Erect in growth, rugged of stem, 
with rich Taxus-green foliage 
which remains until the end of 
February. 
The illustrated hedge is 5 years 
old, has never been clipped, is 
perfect in shape, and is about 
3 feet high. 
Here's Drought Proof 
Let us quote from a letter of Mortimer 
Burroughs, received in October. He is a 
landscape architect at Clayton, Missouri. 
This is what he says: 
“As a shrub for foundation planting, either in 
shade or full sun, it is excellent. Its upright dense 
habit of growth makes it ideal for hedges, as it 
thrives equally well in shade as in full sun.” 
See page 30 for prices. 
“I have been much impressed with the new 
Barberry Mentorensis during the terrible drought 
we had in St. Louis this summer. 
“We moved several when in full leaf last 
spring. Planted them on the north side of the 
house in dense woods. They received no water 
during the whole miserable summer and scarcely 
any sunlight. In spite of this grilling handicap, 
they did not even droop, and actually made con- 
siderable new growth.
