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. 



Hedge of Japanese Barberry. This Shrub is splendidly suited for this purpose, especially where one of a dwarf 

 nature is desired. It grows compact, and with occasional shearing becomes almost impenetrable. Can be sheared 

 into formal shapes if desired, although it is most attractive when allowed to assume its natural shape, as the one 

 shown here has been allowed to do. 



Japanese Barberry 



B. 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.

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 included in all 

 shrub collections; thrive best in open, sunny loca- 

 tions and are not entirely hardy north of New York. 



Buddleia variabilis. Sweet-scented Buddleia 

 (S). The flowers are fragrant and borne in great 

 profusion during the Summer months. They are 

 produced in terminal panicles, are lilac in color and 

 very ornamental.
