TAXUS CANADENSIS STRICTA 
This dwarf evergreen makes a perfectly beau- 
tiful evergreen formal hedge. It is hardy; will 
thrive anywhere that Taxus grows. Successfully 
stands temperatures as low as 20 degrees be- 
low zero. May be left natural (unclipped as 
shown in illustration) or can be clipped round, 
or in boxlike form of 8 to 10 inches wide and 
10 to 12 inches high. It transplants readily 
and it is not necessary to send the smaller 
plants with a ball of earth. Set plants 10 to 12 
inches apart. We recommend the following

DWARF RED BARBERRY 
CRIMSON PYGMY 
We obta'ned from Holland the miniature form 
of the Red-Leaved Barberry. Everyone who has 
seen it wants it because of its charm and de- 
lightful 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 correctly. For 
hedging, space plants 12 inches apart. 
Each $1.10, Three $3.00, 
Doz. $10.00, 100 $70.00 
a 
LIGUSTRUM VICARI 
A new dwarf-growing hardy Privet with golden 
foliage. Not to be confused with the yellow 
variegated Carlifornia Privet which is not 
hardy. Golden Vicari Pirvet makes a superb 
golden edging to walks or beds. It can be 
trimmed to remain 12 to 15 or 18 in. tall. 
Be'ng 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 15 inches tall. As to its hardiness, 
we have tested it in Mentor now for 6 years 
and found it completely hardy. Should be 
grown in full sun for best color. 
Each $1.10, Three $3.00, Doz. $10.00, 
100 $70.00

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 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 
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.
