ON BEHALF OF THE EVERGREEN BERBERRIES. 
The evergreen species of Berberis are very much grown here, being 
especial favourites with my employer, both on account of their hardiness, 
and from their coming into flower early in spring. As under-shrubs they 
are very valuable, being more hardy than the common Laurel. In the 
severe winter of 1860 we had the Laurels, both Portugal and common, as 
well as Aucubas, Bays, and indeed almost all evergreen shrubs, killed down 
to the ground ; but Berberis Aquifolium stood 84° of frost without losing a 
leaf, in any part of these grounds, though some of them were growing close 
to the water in two separate places, in both of which they escaped without 
injury. This fact induced me to plant them more extensively than before, 
as they are very pretty, not only in the spring when covered with their 
golden yellow blossoms, but also in the autumn when their branches are 
laden with purple fruit. Unfortunately the feathered tribes are so fond of 
the fruit that they eat them up as they would Gooseberries or Currants, and 
thus rob the plants of their autumnal beauty. 
Since 1860 we have planted three other kinds, which I think would be 
more commonly used if they were better known. These are Berberis Bealii,
