DWARF RED BARBERRY 
CRIMSON PYGMY 
We obtained from Holland 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 12 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 
and excellent as edging to walks or flower beds 
where it will be most attractive. Must be grown 
in full sun in order to obtain the brilliant foliage 
color. If grown in shade they will not color cor- 
rectly. For hedging space plants 12 inches apart 
Each $1.10, Three $3.00 
Doz. $10.00, 100 $70.00 
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 edg- 
ing to walks or beds. It can be trimmed to re- 
main 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 15 in. tall. As to its hardiness, 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 $1.10, Three $3.00, Doz. $10.00.

ILEX CONVEXA (Crenata Bullata) 
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 pro- 
duce this little beauty in quantities 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 ever- 
greens. As a small ‘‘accent’’ plant, it is faultless. 
For small hedges it is a jewel, Particularly in cold 
climates where Boxwood is_ impossible. Space 
plants 18 in. apart. An absolute ‘‘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. 
Special size for hedging, bare roots: 
Bushy plants in Cloverset pots: 
10-12 inches Each $1.50, Three $4.00, 
Doz. $15.00.
