Hardy Ornamental Flowering Shrubs 
Are Enchanting with Varieties of Foliage, Flowers and Fruit 
T HERE are numerous ways in which the Hardy Ornamental Flowering Shrubs can be used to make the grounds 
around the home more beautiful. While they do not retain their foliage throughout the Winter, they fill an 
important place and present a wide field for the selection of colors, season of bloom and growth. The Spirea, 
Hydrangea, Barberry, and others of like character are effective for grouping or mass planting against fences or walls. 
The tall, quick growing shrubs like the Dogwood, Hibiscus, and Mockorange may be used to screen buildings, 
planted to form a hedge or as specimens. All of the varieties described on the following pages thrive in the South 
and are of good stock, well branched. 
BERBERIS ‘ Barberry 
BERBERIS THUNBERGI. Japanese Barberry. 
Probably the most widely planted shrub in existence. 
It is dwarf growing, uniformly bushy and rounded 
form. Stands pruning well. The thorny twigs are 
densely covered with small, numerous leaves; yellow 
flowers in the Spring are followed in the Autumn by 
quantities of small scarlet red berries. The general 
formation of the plant makes it very useful as a filler 
and for edging shrubbery groups; as a foundation 
screen in front of porches and as a compact, impass¬ 
able, hardy, low hedge for lawns or dividing lines.
