Aside from giving a good idea of the habit of this Japan Barberry when grown as an 
informal hedge plant, this picture is happy in other suggestions. To the left the grouping 
of shrubs and trees is effective in its arrangement and. it may he the means of planting out 
of sight some otherwise objectionable features. The sky line and plantings in the distance 
and their relation to the lawn areas and buildings are full of good suggestions. 
Japanese Barberry 
Berbeins 
Cbunbergu 
ANOTHER fine addition to our list of shrubs. It is of low growing- 
habit, forming a compact growth seldom over four feet. It makes a 
splendid specimen, groups well with other shrubs and as a hedge plant 
where a low informal hedge is required nothing can rival this barberry. The 
foliage until Autumn is a pleasing light green, but as the frost appears this 
barberry begins to take on deep amber green tints, slowly changing to the 
deepest crimson and finally to rich yellow, and as the foliage drops the 
crimson berries, which were before partially hidden from view, fairly rival 
the foliage in its former brilliancy. These berries remain on without 
withering throughout the winter, giving a very beautiful effect. 
The great popularity of this interesting shrub is now universal and it 
could be said with safety, if you are in doubt in planting shrubs, plant Japan 
Barberry. It proves to thrive practically everywhere, is absolutely hardy 
and even does very well in the partial shade.

purple-Leaved Barberry 
(Berberis v. Purpurea.) 
A GRACEFUL upright-growing form of the common barberry with rich 
amber-purple foliage which forms a striking contrast with the green 
of most shrubs. Also is especially effective when in flower, and again 
when the rich red fruits of autumn wreath the branches.
