JAPANESE BARBERRY 
(Berberis thunbergi) 
If you want a hedge that will give 
your grounds a really natural effect, 
plant Japanese Barberry. If allowed 
to grow without pruning or training 
in any way, it will form a compact 
mass so dense that even a cat can’t 
get through it. 
For a low hedge Japanese Barberry 
stands at the head of the list. The 
leaves are small, light green, and 
toward fall turn to various colors 
Which produce a very pleasing aspect. 
In fall this handsome plant bears a 
profusion of bright red berries which 
remain through the winter. This Bar- 
berry is without doubt one of the best 
hedge plants and one that requires 
no attention, as it can be pruned or 
not at the owner’s discretion. Bar- 
berry is absolutely hardy. You need 
not fear that it will winter-kill at all. 
It will stand trimming, but does not 
need it even for wonderfully fine 
hedges, unless your space is very small. 
Along a walk, driveway, or even as a 
boundary hedge Barberry can be used 
to great advantage, whether you trim 
it or permit it to grow as nature in- 
tended. On account of the dense 
and horizontal-growing branches, the 
plants make a thick hedge.

Hedge of Red Leaved Japanese Barberry 
RED LEAVED BARBERRY 
(Berberis thunbergi atropurpurea) 
A highly important introduction among shrubs, giving 
us for the first time a practical easily grown shrub of 
medium height, with good, distinctly red foliage. This 
must prove a boon to all types of landscaping, where studied 
contrasts are to be worked out with the shrub foliage de- 
pended on for colors. Red Leaved Barberry is an exact 
reproduction of the Japanese variety in every way—habit, 
leaf-formation and fruiting, but— whereas the original is 
a deep green from spring until fall, this variety starts of 
in its first foliage a warm bronzy red; the heat of summer 
intensifying its red brilliancy; autumn adding other tints 
to its richness. ' The abundant scarlet berries persist 
throughout the winter along the spiny twigs. A sunny 
exposure is necessary to bring out and retain its full red 
color.
