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 berries 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 
and walks. Specimen plants.

FORSYTHIA - Golden Bell 
A very choice Shrub; native of China and 
Japan. The flowers are drooping, golden 
yellow, and appear very early in the Spring 
before the leaves. The best of our early 
flowering shrubs. Admired by thousands. 
Forsythia Fortuneii. A very satisfactory 
variety. Growth upright, foliage deep 
green. Flowers rich golden yellow. 
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.
