THUMBERG’S BARBERRY. Berberis Thumbergi —This Japanese shrub is 
being used more and more as a hedge. Not as quick in growth as Privet, but 
absolutely hardy. Its small, glossy leaves are out early in spring, succeeded 
by yellow flowers. The foliage turns a bright red in the fall and this is fol¬ 
lowed by red berries. It is a graceful, drooping shrub, making an elegant va¬ 
riety for hiding foundation walls or planting in the corners by steps, etc. Also 
does well in shady places. Especially remarkable for its brilliant red berries, 
remaining fresh until spring, and for its dazzling fall coloring. Our heavier 
bushy plants will make immediate effect when planted.
