BERBERIS - Barberry 
Berberis. Thunbergii. (Japanese Barberry.) One 
of the most beautiful shrubs either for hedging 
or general purposes. It is of a neat, compact 
growth and never need be touched with the shears. 
The foliage is beautiful at all times, and in the 
fall turns to a most brilliant crimson color. The 
plant is literally covered with bright scarlet ber¬ 
ries all the fall and winter. It seldom grows over 
4 feet high. It is fine for the edge of a terrace 
and along roads and walks. Specimen plants.

Berberis. Vulgaris Purpurea. (Purple-leaved Bar¬ 
berry.) Especially remarkable for its dense, up¬ 
right growth and its brilliant purple foliage and 
fruit. When full grown plants attain a height of 
4 to 5 feet, but can be kept at any height below 
this by shearing. It is very valuable as a border 
for walks and drives. Splendid for a hedge, also 
good as single specimens on the lawn. Endures 
partial shade, and is perfectly hardy.

early June until late August, makes it a 
valuable acquisition in any garden. Strong
