Berbefis, New Varieties and Hybrids 
See, also. Evergreen Shrubs 
Many new hybrids and species of Berberis have recently been introduced, most of them from Central 
Asia, a few from the mountains of Chile and Argentina. They form a most interesting group of shrubs of 
widely varying forms, but all highly decorative on account of their curiously colored fruits and leaves. 
Some are strong, upright growers, others, low-spreading bushes, and many have slender pendulous branches. 
A large number of them are evergreen shrubs with shining, holly-like foliage. (See evergreen section.) 
Many of the varieties are especially adapted for rockeries. With few exceptions, they have proved hardy 
at the Arnold Arboretum. Some of the evergreen sorts need to be planted in a sheltered situation in the 
North. I have become much interested in these plants and have a large collection of them, a number of 
which I am able to offer for the first time. 
BREVIPANICULATA. Forms a dense, erect 
bush 4 to 6 feet high; abundant rosy red berries. 
$1 each, $7.50 for 10. 
CORYI. Dense shrub; yellow flowers, followed 
by conspicuous clusters of coral-red fruits; needs 
some protection. $1.50 each. 
DARWINII. A fine, compact, dwarf shrub from 
Chile. The young branches are whitish brown; foli¬ 
age is glossy dark green above and light green below; 
pendulous racemes of orange-yellow flowers in June, 
followed by dark green fruits. $1 each, $7.50 for 10. 
NEUBERTII. (Lem.) A strong-growing, nearly 
evergreen hybrid, a cross between B. vulgaris and 
Mabonia Aquifolium; large leaves of dark grayish 
green, spiny toothed, resembling the holly; perfectly 
hardy in sheltered positions; highly ornamental. 
Erroneously listed as B. ilicifolia. $1 each, $7.50 for 10. 
POIRETII. Grows to 5 feet; branches slender 
and arching; quite hardy, but little known, though 
worthy. $1 each, $7.50 for 10. 
REGELIANA. Upright shrub; leaves pale gray¬ 
ish green; flowers yellow followed by scarlet fruit. 
$1 each, $7.50 for 10. 
SIEBOLDII. Grows to 3 feet, with angular-tipped 
branches; leaves assume a deep vinous red in fall, 
lasting most of the winter; quite hardy. $1 each, 
$7.50 for 10.

small, dark green leaves and bright yellow flowers, 
followed by coral-red fruits. $1 each, $7.50 for 10.

deciduous shrub, with small foliage, bearing 
carmine berries; similar to B. Wilsonx. 75 cts. each, 
$6 for 10. 
THUNBERGII (Japanese Barberry). A beautiful 
shrub at all seasons. Small foliage, coloring beauti¬ 
fully in autumn, and brilliant scarlet berries, remain¬ 
ing on all winter. One of the most valuable hedge 
plants. A point about this variety that makes it 
desirable is its easy adaptation to conditions. It 
can be pruned to any desired form or left to form a 
natural head. Strong plants, 2 ft., 50 cts. each, 
$3.50 for 10, $30 per 100; hedge plants, 15 to 18 in.,

common Barberry. 60 cts. each, $5 for 10.

riety of the preceding, having deep purple foliage.

sized shrub from China, with small foliage, pale green
