DECIDUOUS SHRUBS 
81 
An Effective Border of Flowering Shrubs. Brilliant with Showy Berries in 
the Fall 
Berried Shrubs for Fall and Winter 
T HE shrub border is poorly planned if it does not include 
some of the handsome berried varieties which, from late 
Summer until well into the Winter, add their charm 
of bright colors ranging from white to blue, black and scarlet. 
Their brilliant berries make most attractive house decorations 
and fill the shrubberies with song birds. 
A background of Evergreen trees adds to the beauty of the 
bright berried shrubs, making appropriate contrasts to their 
brilliant coloring and harboring the birds. Many of the Ever¬ 
greens also have berries like the Junipers, Yews and Hollies 
and the Evergreen Thorn with its flaming scarlet berries in 
great clusters and the black-berried Japanese Hollies. 
Some of the shrubs whose berries are especially attractive 
are the Aronias, Barberries, Dogwoods, Cotoneasters, Eleagnus, 
Evonymus and Ilex in both deciduous and evergreen varieties, 
the Privets and Bush Honeysuckles, Myrica, Rhamnus, Rhodo- 
typus, Sumacs, Elderberries, Symphoricarpus and the Vi¬ 
burnums.
