Untrimmed Hedge of Berberis Me 
Trimmed Hedge of Berberis Mentorensis at the Morton Arboretum 
Bias 
The Morton Arboretum at Lisle, Ilinois, 
near Chicago, testing garden for shrubs and 
especially hedges, writes: 
The Mentor Barberry (Berberis Mentoren- 
sis) has been much discussed of late, and 
after several years’ trial, we are thoroughly 
convinced of its hedge possibilities. A hybrid 
of B. Julianae and B. Thunbergi parentage, 
it is fortunate in possessing the former’s 
erect habit and semi-evergreen, leathery, dark 
green foliage combined with the latter’s hardi- 
ness and vigor.
