the red berries that follow make the barberries garden-worthy. 
Among the best are B. amurensis japonica, B. mentorensis, 
B. Vernae, and the white-stemmed B. dictyophylla. B. vulgaris 
and its relatives are alternate hosts to the wheat-rust, and are 
therefore not to be planted in wheat-growing regions. B. Thun- 
bergii is of outstanding merit both for hedges and mixed shrub 
borders, and it develops into an excellent specimen plant when 
afforded sufficient room [6J, nursery].
