HILLENMEYER NURSERIES, Lexington, Kentucky 
Flowering Shrubs 
T HERE is some place for flowering shrubs around every home—- 
cottage, mansion, or palace. A corner needs a bit of color, a founda¬ 
tion wall needs to be concealed, a garage should be screened. In 
all these places flowering shrubs are adaptable, hardy, and successful. 
From our fields this year we shall take the finest shrubs possible to 
grow—large, well developed, with good roots, and not by any means like 
the shrubs sold on “bargain” counters, which in many cases are of un¬ 
known origin. In fact Hillenmeyer shrubs carry several canes, and only 
the small sizes can be sent by parcel post—others go by express. 
In the descriptions “F” indicates adaptability for foundation planting. 
The figures following the name indicate height at maturity.

New Red-leaf Barberry 
Introduced some seven years ago, this new plant Berberis thunbergi atro- 
purpurea has become immensely popular. It resembles the Japanese 
Barberry in growth, but the foliage is brilliant blood-red in spring. The 
color holds all summer in sun, but in shady places it becomes a beautiful 
bronzy green. Its winter charm is enhanced by red berries that remain 
until spring. Few shrubs attract so much attention, or add so much color 
to a dull border. We consider it one of the best newer plants, and our 
stock is strong and vigorous. This year the price is so low that the Red- 
leaf Barberry should be used freely. 
2 to 3 ft.60 cts. each, $2.50 for 5 
iy 2 to 2 ft.45 cts. each, $2.00 for 5
