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  shady  places,  as  well  as  in  other  locations.  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.

orous-growing sort,  with  handsome,  dark  green
