BUXUS (Boxwood) 
There is no doubt that ‘Box’ is one of the finest and most useful of 
the broadleaf evergreens. It lends itself to all kinds of uses in the 
garden or as specimens in tubs on the porch or terrace. 
It has three particularly fine and unusual attributes which are not 
commonly found in other shrubs: 
One: It does well on poor soils. 
Two: It grows luxuriantly in sun or shade. 
Three: It grows fine under the drip of tall trees.

all means plant it for a hedge and edging or for formal use as well as : :

COTONEASTER 
Multiflora Bare root, hedging size, Doz. $7.50, 100 $55.00 
Here follows a report published by the nationally famous Morton 
Arboretum of Lisle, Illinois: ‘“More spectacular are the red-fruited 
forms, which comprise a majority of the species in cultivation. Of these, 
Cotoneaster Multiflora is a perennial favorite here. Our greatest speci- 
men has long since exceeded its designated ultimate height, and grown 
into a shapely bush 10 feet tall. The whip-like branches are arching 
and spreading, and in late May erupt along the entire length into 
clusters of white Hawthorn-like flowers. An effect equally pleasing 
prevails in autumn when good sized crimson fruits of dazzling brilliance 
fringe the branches. They remain effective well into October or No- 
vember. Between the flowering and fruiting seasons, interest is fur- 
nished by the broad, clean appearing foliage of soft blue-green.” 
For hedges this variety is particularly well adapted and we offer for 
that purpose nice plants about 3 feet tall for a special price.

Chornless Barberry 
(Patented) 
Barberry is used more for hedges than any other shrub 
and justly so. It performs the function of a hedge plant 
splendidly and at little cost. Its ease of culture as well 
as its brilliant fruit and autumn foliage make it the 
number one plant for that purpose. 
Thornless Berberis Thunbergi 

Very often a hedge is desired for a dividing line or 
along the drive to the garage or specimen plants of 
Barberry are required in a mixed planting of shrubs. 
The common Barberry in such locations often is a nui- 
sance because of its thorns. Our new Thornless Barberry 
should be used wherever the need of protection provided 
by the thorns of the common Barberry is not required, 
along private drives, walks near entryways where damage 
to clothes and particularly stockings is possible, use the 
Thorniess Barberry. It is even more handsome in form 
and just as colorful in fall as the common Barberry. 
You will be proud of such a hedge. It will be easy to 
keep clean and it is handsome in fall as well as in 
summer,
