A very good ornamental hedge and one that is also more or less defensive, can be made by the use of the Barberry. It is a fairly strong grower, and the branches being completely covered with small thorns make of it a particularly solid hedge. In the spring it is covered with small yellow flowers followed later by bright red berries. It is a very attractive plant. It will grow in quite low situations, and equally as well on high ground. 18 to 24 in. Seed $ 6 00 per 100 $35 00 per 1000 18 to 24 in. Trans 15 00 " 100 2 to 3 ft. " 20 00 •* 100 " Thunberg's. Of all deciduous shrubs, we know of none that we would recommend as highly for a low, dwarf hedge, as we do this. The twigs and branches are quite spreading, and they are completely covered with small thorns. The plant grows extremely thick right from the ground, frequently sending strong shoots from the collar. It will not make a hedge of more than 3 or 4 feet in height in many years. It requires little prun- ing to keep it in shape. The leaves are small, light green, and towards fall assume a brilliant scarlet color. The berries also turn bright scarlet when they are ripe. 18 to 24 in.

While being used as an ornamental hedge, it is perhaps in greater demand for hedging around farms and large places. It makes a very stiff and solid hedge, and if cut back to the ground several times after planting, it becomes very thick at the bottom.
