Southwest Texas. Grows and blooms well in hot, dry sec¬ 
tions. Attains height of two to four feet, and all summer is 
covered with orange-red blooms. 
BARBERRY, JAPANESE (Berberis thunbergi)—A low grow¬ 
ing, hardy shrub with small leaves which turn bronzy-yellow 
and red in fall. The flowers are small pale yellow, followed 
by scarlet fruits. 
BARBERRY, RED-LEAVED (Berberis thunbergi atropurpu- 
rea)—Similar in growth to the Japanese Barberry, its out¬ 
standing attraction being its rich bronze and red foliage all 
season. Will not color up to advantage except in sun. 
BEAUTYBERRY, AMERICAN (Callicarpa americana) — A 
pretty shrub of low growth, blooming profusely in mid-sum¬ 
mer, followed by large clusters of violet berries which persist 
until after frost; flowers lilac colored. 
BIRD-OF-PARADISE (Caesalpinia gilliesi)—Particularly suit¬ 
ed to dry sections, though succeeds in almost any soil. Leaves 
long and narrow, giving the plant a feathery effect. Flowers 
pea-shaped, borne in large clusters, bright yellow with bril¬ 
liant red stamens protuding three or four inches from the 
bloom. 
BLUEBEARD, COMMON (BLUE SPIREA) (Caryopteris in- 
cana)—A low-growing plant of perennial habit with gray 
downy foliage. It is of vigorous growth and produces flowers 
in great profusion the full length of the branches. The flow¬ 
ers are bright blue, a color rather scarce in the hardy shrubs. 
BUSHCLOVER, PURPLE (Lespedeza formosa) — One of the 
most attractive of the summer blooming shrubs. The plants 
are covered with reddish-purple, pea-shaped flowers borne on 
the arching branches. A very graceful shrub of perennial 
habit and suited for group plantings. 
BUTTERFLYBUSH, OXEYE (Buddleia davidi magnifica)— 
A rapid growing shrub which often winter-kills to the ground 
but comes again in the spring. The plant bears long spikes of 
lilac-blue flowers continuously throughout the summer, and 
because of its sweet fragrance is very attractive to butter¬ 
flies. The bush should be pruned back severely in early spring 
before new growth begins. 
BUTTERFLYBUSH, ISLE OF FRANCE (Buddleia, Be de 
France)—Medium growing with narrow, dark sage-green 
leaves and bearing in profusion dense terminal panicles of 
rich reddish-purple flowers throughout the entire summer and 
one of the most showy of all shrubs. Tops kill back somewhat 
in winter but come again the following spring. 
CHASTE TREE (Vitex agnus castus)—A rapid growing shrub 
or small tree, splendid for use in backgrounds and to hide high 
fences. The foliage is sage green; flower spikes are pale blue. 
Has aroma of sage plant. 
CHOKEBERRY, PURPLE (Aronia atropurpurea) — Upright 
shrub with dense foliage turning yellow and red in autumn. 
The small white flowers are produced in clusters and are fol¬ 
lowed by purplish-black fruits.
