BUDDLEYA VARIABILIS. 



Berberis Thunbergi. 



Lovetti. — A species recently introduced 

 from Japan and an improvement upon the 

 popular B. Thunbergi. The finest and most 

 beautiful of all the Barberries. Dense and 

 compact habit with round, glossy deep green 

 foliage which turns to bright flame color in 

 autumn. The branches are thickly studded 

 with small wax-like, bright coral red berries 

 which remain nearly to the end of winter 

 and impart to the plant a lively, cheerful and 

 very attractive appearance. It is a stronger 

 and more upright grower than B. Thunbergi 

 and its berries are more brilliant in color. As 

 hardy as an Oak and of great value for hedg- 

 ing as well as for specimens and massing 

 Each 25c; doz. $2.50.

 spreading, compact growth and small, glossy,
