BARBERRY (Berberis) Valuable for massing and for low hedging. 
Mentorensis (Mentor B.) (Plant Patent No. 99) This barberry is one 
of the best ever introduced for the south and southwest. It withstands 
drought and high temperatures and in the south is evergreen. In 
Kansas it frequently holds its foliage until February; in places pro- 
tected from winter sun it will remain green all winter. The foliage 
is large, thick, leathery, very attractive; red fruits in the fall and 
winter. It grows very bushy and will reach a height of 5 or 6 feet. 
There have never been enough of these plants to go around it is in 
such great demand.
