BERBERIS mentorensis ; 
Plant Patent No. 99. Has very strong, rugged, upright 
branches with formidable thorns. Very dark green foliage 
which clings tenaciously until midwinter. Heat and drought 
resistant, making a very fine hedge.

spring, dull red in summer, and blazing scarlet in fall. Plant 
in full sun to develop the best color.

a neat variety for edging walks or beds. 
B. Thunbergi pluriflora erecta Truehedge Columnberry 
Plant Patent No. 110. The outstanding feature of this va- 
riety is the quickness with which one can obtain an erect, 
compact hedge with very little trimming. The plants are 
so perfectly upright and pyramidal that an “immediate effect” 
hedge is obtained, thus saving the two to three years re- 
quired to produce a‘satisfactory hedge from common Bar- 
berry. It is decidedly more dense and heavier with foliage 
than the common Barberry, and takes on a richer and deeper 
fall coloring. The berries are similar in color and size.
