Barberry (Herberts) 
Berberis Thunbergi (Japanese). 2^ to 3 ft. A 
dwarf, spreading, Japanese species, with small, 
neat foliage and compact, rounded growth. 
The white flowers are followed by scarlet ber- 
ries, in great abundance. The foliage is bril- 
liant in its autumnal coloring. It is much used 
for ornamental hedging, and for planting in 
masses. 35 cts. to $1 . 
B. vulgaris (Common Barberry). 4 to 5 ft. 
Pretty yellow flowers of erect growth; and its 
prickly nature fits it for hedging. 35 cts. 
to 75 cts. 
B. vulgaris purpurea ( Purple Barberry) . 4 to 5 
ft. The same as the preceding, but with pretty 
purple foliage, which makes it very desirable 
for massing with other shrubs where it is ex- 
tremely effective. 35 cts. to 75 cts. 
Sweet Shrub (Calycanthus) 
Calycanthus floridus. 5 to 6 ft. The oddly 
formed, double flowers are a rare chocolate color 
and have a peculiar agreeable odor. They are 
borne in the axils of the leaves all along the 
branches in June. 35 cts. to 75 cts. 
C. occidentalis (Western Sweet Shrub). Flowers 
much like the other, but they come later in the 
spring. 25 cts. to 50 cts.

Caragana arborescens. 8 to 10 ft. A very hardy, 
tall-growing shrub, bearing pea-shaped, yellow

50 cts. to 75 cts. 
Verbena Shrub (Caiyopterh) 
Caryopteris Mastacanthus (Blue Spirea). 2 to 
3 ft. A new shrub, which is planted because 
of its blooming laie in the fall, when but few 
shrubs are in flower. In the axil of each leaf-

to frost. An entire bed of this plant produces a 
striking effect. 35 cts. to 50 cts. 
White Fringe (Chionanthus) 
Chionanthus Virginica. 8 to 10 ft. The beau- 
tiful, white, fringe-like flowers and heavy, 
dark green leaves make it a desirable plant for 
many purposes. It is a large-growing shrub, 
making a fine foliage background for others. 
50 cts. to $1 . 50. 
Hardy Orange ( Citrus) 
Citrus trifoliata. 15 to 20 ft. This bears small, 
pretty "oranges" too bitter for eating, but highly 
ornamental. It also makes a good hedge plant.
