DWARF RED BARBERRY 
CRIMSON PYGMY 
Three years ago we obtained from Holland a 
number of plants of the miniature form of the 
Red-Leaved Barberry. Everyone who has seen it 
wants it because of its charm and delightful 
coloring of its foliage. 
The old leaves are bronzy blood-red, while the 
new growth tips are several shades lighter, 
which sparkle in the sunlight. 
Our oldest stock plants, now several years 
old, measure 15 to 18 inches in diameter and 
are about 6 to 8 inches high. Each one is a 
picture in itself. Individual plants are colorful 
and will make a fine showing in front of any 
shrub planting, in front of a house for instance. 
It is of slow growth so it will be a year or 
two more before we can offer it in quantities 
for use as edging to walks or flower beds where 
it will be most attractive. We offer a limited 
number of plants now about 5 to 8 inches 
in diameter. Must be grown in full sun in 
order to obtain the brilliant foliage color. If 
grown in shade they will not color correctly. 
Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.90, 
100 $100.00 
LIGUSTRUM VICARI 
A new dwarf-growing hardy Privet with golden 
foliage Not to be confused with the yellow 
variegated California Privet which is not 
hardy. Golden Vicari Privet makes a superb 
golden edging to walks or beds. It can be 
trimmed to remain 12 to 15 or 18 in. tall. 
Being of slow growth, it does not require 
frequent pruning but by the same token, it 
takes several years to produce a fair sized 
plant in the nursery. It may also be used to 
good advantage as an individual specimen in 
a planting in front of the house or shrubbery 
border. We send out 3 to 4 year old plants 
which are about 12 in. tall. As te its hardi- 
ness, we have tested it in Mentor now for six 
years and found it completely hardy. Should 
be grown in full sun for best color. 
Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. 06 
100 $100.00

This is one of the choicest of evergreens and 
was introduced into this country in 1919 by 
E. H. Wilson. It has taken many years of 
effort to produce this little beauty in quanti- 
ties but now it is here for you to enjoy. It 
is very bushy, has shiny dark green, Boxwood- 
like foliage somewhat convex and it grows 
about 4 feet high and 3 feet across. The 
glossy leaves are so profuse that twigs are 
invisible. Left to itself it grows “informally 
formal’’ and blends beautifully with other 
evergreens. As a small ‘accent’ plant, it is 
faultless. For small hedges it is a jewel, par- 
ticularly in cold climates where Boxwood is 
impossible. Space plants 18 in. apart. An 
obsolute ‘’must’’ for every garden. Does well 
in light shade or full sun and is equally happy 
on alkaline or acid soil, and last but not 
least, it is hardy.
