BERBERIS  .  THE  BARBERRIES 
A  valuable  group  of  small  shrubs,  admired  for  their  foliage  and  brilliant  fruits  that  cling 
along  the  leafless  branches  at  a  time  when  few  other  shrubs  are  attractive.  They  can  be  grown 
in  dry  and  sandy  soils,  as  well  as  other  places.  The  dense  habit,  slender  thorny  branches  and 
ability  to  withstand  clipping  make  the  Barberries  invaluable  for  low  hedges  and  boundaries.  They  are 
much  admired  for  the  front  of  shrubberies,  for  groups  and  wherever  small  shrubs  are  desired.  Plant  in 
Spring  or  Fall.
