New and Choice Shrubs 
The New Semi-Evergreen 
Barberry 
Berberis Mentorensis 
Plant Patent No. 99 
We are glad to participate with the introducers. 
“Wayside Gardens,” in offering this new Barberry, 
which should prove extremely valuable because 
none of the evergreen types heretofore have been 
reliably hardy in New England. Mentorensis has 
survived a temperature of 30° below zero. Intro¬ 
ducer’s description follows: “Its rich, glossy foliage 
stays green practically all year. Ultimate height, 
334 to 4 feet. Thrives in acid or alkaline soils. 
Ideal for foundation planting. Unequaled for pro¬ 
tective hedge. It is upright in growth, requiring 
practically no trimming. A grand, handsome shrub 
in every way.” 2-ft. plants, 75 cts. each, $2 for 3, 
$6 per doz., $45 per 100. 
New Butterfly Bush

Altogether different from the older varieties. The 
flowers are a very distinct red, with violet shadings. 
Somewhat smaller than the type but very free in 
flowering. Excellent for cutting. Strong 2-yr. 
plants, 75 cts. each, $7.50 per doz.

Chinese Azalea 
Colors are gorgeous, ranging from yellow to vivid

or among evergreens. Bushy plants, shipped with
