Berberis Dictyophylla. A new Chinese species which is entirely dis- 

 tinct and unique on account of the young branches as well as the 

 underside of the foliage being covered with a white bloom, giving the

 to 7 feet high, has yellow flowers in spring, followed in the autumn by 

 brilliant red berries. Good young pot-grown plants, 50 cts. each. 



— Thunbergi {Japanese Barberry). A beautiful variety with small 

 foliage, assuming the most varied tints of coloring in the autumn, and 

 attractive scarlet berries, which remain on the plant the greater part o{ 

 the winter; very desirable for grouping, particularly around the base of 

 a porch or veranda to hide the foundation; succeeds in sun or shade and 

 is the best hedge plant we know. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. Plants 

 for hedges offered on page 229.

 very dwarf, decorative Shrub, with small glossy green leaves and long 

 spines; the foliage in the fall takes on the most beautiful autumnal red 

 tints. 50 cts. each. 



Buddleia Variabilis Veitchiana (Butterfly Shrub or Summer Lilac). 

 One of the most desirable summer flowering shrubs, beginning to bloom 

 in July, it continues until cut by severe frost. The flowers are of a 

 pleasing shade of violet-mauve, and are borne in dense cylindrical 

 spikes, which, under liberal cultivation, are from 12 to 15 inches in 

 length by 3 inches in diameter; it succeeds everywhere and flowers freely 

 the first season planted, and is always admired. 30 cts. each.

than the above and with brighter reddish-violet flowers. 30 cts. each.

 planted in clumps on the lawn; it grows about 3 feet high, its branches 

 gracefully recurving; these are covered in August with tiny pink-tinted 

 flowers, followed in late September by great masses of violet- 

 purple berries, borne in clusters from the axil of every leaf, 

 these remain on the plant until mid-winter. All fall berried 

 plants are useful and attractive, and this is one of the most de- 

 sirable. (See cut ) Strong plants, 35 cts. each; $3.50 per doz.
