Berberis : The Barberries 
A valuable group of small shrubs, admired 
for their foliage and brilliant fruits that cling 
along the leafless branches at a time when 
few other shrubs are 
attractive. They can 
be grown in dry and 
sandy soils, as well 
as in other places. 
T h e dense habit, 
s1e n d r thorny 
branches and ability 
to withstand clipping 
make the Barberries 
invaluable for low 
hedges a n d bound¬ 
aries. They are much 
admired for the front 
of shrubberies, for 
groups and whatever 
small plants are desired. 
Plant in spring or fall. 
B. vulgaris. (Common Barberry.) May. 
An erect sturdy grower with light green 
prickly leaves. Clusters of golden yellow 
flowers; later dark red berries that last

B. Thunbergii. (Thunberg’s Japanese Bar¬ 
berry.) May. Invaluable little shrub 
that fits in with almost every planting. 
Will grow just about anywhere, and has 
handsome foliage of tiny bright green oval 
leaves, that turn the most brilliant shades 
of orange and red in the fall. The slender, 
graceful branches which are protected by 
small thorns, are lined with little scarlet 
berries of great attractiveness from early 
autumn well into the winter. Be sure to
