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. 



Berberis hackadata. (D) A remarkably vig- 

 orous-growing sort, with handsome dark green 

 foliage. It is one of the best.

 Autumn well into the Winter.
