edges. They are bright grass-gi'een above and intensely glaucous be- 

 neath. This' glaucescence is also present on the stems, more especially 

 the younger ones, the blue-whiteness of the whole ph'.nt being especially 

 striking in summer. The usual three spines found in most of the bar- 

 berries are present beneath the leaves at each node, each spine being 

 somewhat less than one inch in length and sharply pointed. The flowers 

 are small, pale yellow in color, and are succeeded by oval berries which 

 are red when ripe. Neither the flowers nor the fruits are very striking, 

 the chief beauty of the plant being the peculiar glaucescence of the stems 

 and the under sides of the leaves. It is easily propagated by seeds or by 

 layering. (Adapted from The Gardeners' Chronicle, Sept. 28, 1912.)
