BARBERRY (Ber'beris valga'ris}. There 

 are five varieties of the Common Barberry, 

 the red, without and with stones ; the 

 black sweet, which is tender, and requires 

 a sheltered border ; the purple, and the 

 white. The seedless (B.vulgaris asperma) 

 is mostly preferred for preserving pur- 

 poses. The fruit is acid, and the bark is 

 very astringent. 



Propagation. Suckers, cuttings, and 

 layers may be employed either in the 

 spring or autumn. The seed is very 

 rarely used.
