Berberis. The Barberries 



AX'ALUABLE 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 — For hedging purposco this Barberry is scarcely surpassed. Its tiny foliage is most attractive. 

 In Autumn it colors brilliantly. Red berries in great profusion show forth brightly during Winter from a lacework of 

 branches. This Barberry is one of the very best of the many plants that have come out of the Orient. Use it freely 

 not only in hedges, but in groups and among other shrubbery.

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

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.

 to the common Buddleia in its nature of gro^nh but 

 has finer flowers. The flower spikes are larger, 

 more densely flowered and more brilliant. They are
