entirely hardy even in New York City, and if planted in any 
rigorous climate should be given considerable protection. Far-

novelty in Barberries although it has been so well exploited as 
to be somewhat familiar, in name at least, is the dwarf form of 
the extremely popular Japanese Barberry, B. Thunbergii minor, 
offered more particularly as a dwarf hedge plant as “ Box- 
barberry.” Except in stature it differs not at all from the taller 
original.
