BARBERRY 
• THUNBERGI—GREEN LEAF 
A pretty dwarf species that will fit into almost 
any planting and will grow in most any place. 
Handsome foliage of bright green oval shaped 
leaves which turn to the most brilliant shades of 
coppery red and orange in autumn and which 
remain on until late fall. The slender, graceful 
little branches are lined with small scarlet 
berries which hang until well into winter and 
help give life to the shrubbery border, especially 
when there is snow on the ground. Used for 
foundation and group plantings and hedges. 
Heavy—12-18-in., 20c Each; 4 for 70c; 
6 for 90c; 10 for $1.40. 
18-24-in., 25c Each; 4 for 80c; 6 for $1.10;

’Hedging quantities, see page 67. 
• NEW RED LEAVED BARBERRY 
An exact reproduction of Thunbergi in every 
way—habit, leaf-formation and fruiting, but— 
whereas the original is a deep green from spring 
until fall, this variety starts off in its first foliage 
a warm bronzy red; the heat of summer intensify¬ 
ing its red brilliancy; autumn adding other tints 
to its richness. The abundant scarlet berries 
persist throughout winter along the spiny twigs. 
A sunny exposure is necessary to bring out and 
retain its full red color. 
12-18-in., 25c Each; 3 for 70c; 5 for $1.00.
