—Variegated Leaved. This is one of the handsomest varie¬

ways attractive, but nothing else can equal its charm when 
broadly blotched and banded with cream and silver; the 
flat, red flower-buds conspicuous.

pound leaves are made up of five to seven distinct leaflets, 
like spread fingers on a hand. Tinted white flowers in long 
umbels. Valuable for medium to tall hedges as well as in¬

from 1 to 4 feet, more at home south of the Ohio, but prac¬ 
tical in the North if given a sheltered position and winter 
protection. It blooms profusely during August with small 
axillary clusters of pink flowers, these followed by berry- 
bunches colored a light violet. If top should freeze, young 
shoots will come up and flower and fruit the next season. 
1V 2 to 2 feet, 35c each ; 3 for $1.00. 
CALYCAKTTHUS,, (Strawberry Shrub). A unique shrub 
growing upright to 6 feet, clothing its straight, strong red¬ 
dish brown shoots with large glossy leaves, from the axils 
of which spring odd, double, spicily fragrant flowers of 
chocolate-red. \y 2 to 2 feet, 30c each ; 3 for 85c.

shrubby border plant growing about 3 feet high ; from Sep¬

See inside back cover for TWO NEW BARBERRIES— 
“Evergreen Barberry,’’ and “Truehedge Columnberry.” 
BARBERRY [Berberis] 
JAPAN 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 15 
inches apart for a tight hedge, but 2 feet is close enough 
where individual expression is desired.

RED LEAP 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 off 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. (See color page E).

BOX-BARBERRY (B. compacta). An improved Thunbergi 
type, its foliage so round and dense, and its growth so even¬ 
ly compact, it bears a striking resemblance to Boxwood. 
Slower and lower growing than Thunbergi, its density al¬ 
lows closer trimming, so that sheared specimens may be 
trained into any shape. Each| 12 | 100

about 5 feet; radiating a delightful 
perfume and glowing with tints 
and shape of the spring Lilacs.

grant ; rosy purple with a deep 
violet suffusion. 
2-yr., 65c each ; 3 for $1.75.
