Bcrberis Tliumbergi, (Japan Berberry). 

 —A most valuable and distinct shrub of dwarf, com- 

 pact habit, forming a low, globular bush of dense 

 growth. Its leaves are small, glossy, very rich dark 

 green with metallic reflections, and so numerous as 

 to completely conceal the branches; turning in au- 

 tumn to the most brilliant scarlet Imaginable— so 

 vivid in fact as to suggest a ball of Are. The 

 branches are thickly studded with coral- like berries 

 which cling to the bush till May, and its numerous 

 little blossoms are very unique. 20c; large 35c.

 hiffhly prized by some. 3 to 4 ft., 25c; 4 to 5 ft., 3.5c. 



Berberls vulgaris atropiirpurea, (Pur- 

 ple-leaved Berberry).— One of our most valuable 

 shrubs, especially for producing color effect in group- 

 ing. Its abundant handsome foliage Is always clean, 

 of a deep rich plum color and does not fade out in 

 summer as do most purple leaved plants. Like the 

 type it produces fruit freely, of a bright crimson 

 color that remain upon the plant until spring. It

 ty as a single fpecimen. 1 5c; 2 to 3 ft., 25c; 3 to 4
