Berberis Thunbergi 
ALTHEA—Continued 
WILLIAM R. SMITH. A splendid giant-flowering 
variety, naturally forming symmetrical bushy speci¬ 
mens, while the glistening pure white single flowers 
are of giant size, fully 4 inches in diameter, open out 
flat or salver-shaped quite different from the older 
types which only partially expand; these are pro¬ 
duced in great profusion from early in July until 
late in September. 2 to 3 ft.50 each 
ARALIA PENTAPHYLLA 
Long, slender, gracefully arching branches and 
bright green, compound foliage. Makes a small tree 
in time, especially attractive on rocky slopes; can be 
kept at medium height. Greenish white flowers in 
long umbels. Valuable for its still intense green 
foliage among the autumn coloring of other shrubs. 
2 to 3 ft.40 each 5 to 4 ft.50 each 
BARBERRIES 
Beautiful in Summer and Winter 
The Barberries have come to be well known as 
hedge plants, and the Japanese variety is particu¬ 
larly appropriate for the purpose. When grown as 
a hedge it makes a most effective boundary to the 
grounds. It requires little or no trimming and its 
thorns are very effective against dogs and other 
depredators. 
BOX-BARBERRY. Dwarf-growing form of Thun- 
bergi. A recent introduction and is suited for plant¬ 
ing where a neat low-growing border is required. 
Can be sheared and trimmed as a hedge.

2 to 3 ft.50 each 
THUNBERGII—Japanese Barberry. A beautiful 
variety of dwarf habit. The spiny branches are cov¬ 
ered with small green foliage, changing to bright 
red in the fall. It bears a mass of bright red ber¬ 
ries. which persist during the winter

New Red-Leaved Barberry 
BERBERIS THUNBERGI ATROPURPUREA. A 
highly important introduction among shrubs, giving 
us for the first time a practical easily grown shrub 
of medium height, with good distinctly red foliage. 
Atropurpurea is 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 intensifying 
its red brilliancy; autumn adding other tints to its 
richness. The abundant scarlet berries persist 
throughout winter along the dense network of spiny 
twigs. A sunny exposure is necessary to bring out 
and retain its full red color. Each. Doz.
