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.

 Invaluable little shrub that

 tected by small thorns, are 

 lined with little scarlet ber- 

 ries of great attractiveness 

 from early Autumn well into 

 the Winter. One of the best 

 plants for a low-growing 

 hedge.

The Buddleia or Summer Lilac is 

 one of the most popular shrubs 

 that has recently come into general 

 use. Everyone is attracted by the 

 quantities of attractive flowers 

 that are produced during the Sum- 

 mer. The fact that the plants 

 Winter-kill slightly really adds to 

 their beauty as they branch out, 

 grow rqt^e , vigorously and flower 

 more .^pr^rtiisely because of the 

 trimrriing that this renders neces- 

 sary each Spring. 



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 

 locations and are not en- 

 tirely hardy north of New 

 York. 



Buddleia variabilis; 

 var. Veitchiana. 



Veitch's Buddleia. (S). 

 An improved variety that 

 is similar to the common 

 Buddleia in its nature of 

 growth but has finer flow- 

 ers. The flower spikes 

 are larger, more densely 

 flowered and more bril- 

 liant. They are deep lilac, 

 a little deeper than (R) 

 "pale hortense violet," in 

 color with an orange-yel- 

 low center.

 this a most interesting 

 and ornamental plant.

One of the distinguishing features of our Nursery is that we raise nearly all the stock we 

 sell and dig it freshly for each order, and do not carry it in storage cellars. Another advan- 

 tage is that our stock, for the most part, is acclimated and more likely to endure our 

 American climate than imported plants are.
