BARBERRY [Berberis] 
JAFAR BARBERRY (Thunbergi). The ideal low hedge 
plant—hardy, tough, impervious; of dense growth; adapted 
to shearing. Daintily small and profuse foliage, beautiful 
alike in summer greens and autumnal crimson. The plenti¬ 
ful racemes of red fruit are resplendent on winter-bared 
branches. It is customary to set the plants about 12 to 16 
inches apart for a tight hedge, but 2 feet is close enough 
where individual expression is desired. .

RED LEAF BARBERRY (Atropurpurea). A brilliant ac¬ 
cent shrub as solitary specimen or in a close group amidst 
duller foliage. An exact reproduction of Thunbergi in every 
respect except color; this variety starting olf in its first 
foliage a warm bronzy red; the heat of summer intensifying 
its red brilliancy; autumn adding other tints to its richness. 
The abundant scarlet berries persist throughout winter along 
the dense network of spiny twigs. A sunny exposure is neces¬ 
sary for color. [Each| 10 | 100 | Mail size:

BUDDLEIA (“Butterfly Bush”). (“Summer Lilac.”) Of 
quick bushy growth; when the lovely bloom-spikes appear 
in July, the shrub, which had probably died down nearly to 
the ground during winter, is now a perfect, well-branched 
specimen of abbut 5 feet; radiating a delightful perfume 
and glowing with the tints and shape of the spring Lilacs. 
—Farquhairi. Rather dwarf, compact growth; with numerous 
medium-sized flower spikes, rich lilac-purple, 
—niag'nifica. This variety is one of the hardiest for all sec¬ 
tions. Flower spikes 10 inches in length by 3 inches in 
diameter are not unusual. Color deep violet-rose, or lavender 
with a pronounced orange center; the margins of petals 
neatly reflexed.
