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. They are much admired for the 

 front of shrubberies, for groups and wherever small shrubs are desired. 



Japanese Barberry 



Berberis Thunbergii. (S). May. Invaluable little 

 shrub that fits in with almost every planting. Will 

 grow just about anywhere, and has handsome foliage 

 of tiny, bright green, oval leaves, that turn the most 

 brilliant shades of orange and red in the Fall. The 

 slender, graceful branches, which are protected by 

 small thorns, are lined with little scarlet berries of 

 great attractiveness from early Autumn well into 

 the Winter. One of the best plants for a low- 

 growing hedge.

Our trees and shrubbery have been used in making this 

 secluded nook for the quiet enjoyment of the Summer-House 

 in a small suburban back yard. 



Buddleia: Summer Lilac 



Shrubs of comparatively recent introduction that 

 are particularly valuable on account of their season 

 of bloom, which is during the Summer months, 

 when few other shrubs are in flower. They are 

 quite rare in this country, but worthy of being in- 

 cluded in all shrub collections; thrive best in open, 

 sunny locations and are not entirely hardy north 

 of New York. 



var. Veitchii. Veitch's Buddleia. (S). An 

 improved variety that is similar in its nature of 

 growth but has finer flowers. The violet mauve 

 flowers, with orange yellow centers, appear on larger 

 and more densely flowered spikes than the above.
