DTinnf IT I A “BUTTERFLY BUSH” 
DUUUJL£ili\ Also “Summer Lilac” 
Of quick bushy growth; when the lovely bloom-spikes appear 
in July, the shrub, which had probably died down nearly to the 
ground during winter, is now a perfect, 
well-branched specimen of about 5 feet; 
radiating a delightful perfume and glow¬ 
ing with tints and shape of the spring 
Lilacs. 
Hartwegi (Introduced now for the first 
. ■ - time). This new variety has 
proved its superior hardiness; is a thrifty, 
compact bush with extra heavy, dark 
green foliage. Its value as a cut-flower 
type is outstanding. The bright lavender 
flowers are densely set on the panicles 
which open complete from the tip down¬ 
wards. Very free. 2 1 / 4-inch pots, by 
mail, postpaid, 75c each; 3 for $2.00. 
BARBERRY [Berberis] 
JAPAN BARBERRY (Thunbergi). The ideal low hedge 
plant—hardy, tough, impervious; of dense growth; adapted 
to shearing. Daintily small and profuse foliage, beautiful 
alike in summer greens and autumnal crimson. The plenti¬ 
ful racemes of red fruit are resplendent on winter-bared 
branches. It is customary to set the plants about 12 to 15 
inches apart for a tight hedge, but 2 feet is close enough 
where individual expression is desired. | 12 | 100 | 1000

RED LEAF BARBERRY (Atropurpurea). A brilliant ac¬ 
cent shrub as solitary specimen or in a close group amidst 
duller foliage. An exact reproduction of Thunbergi in every 
respect except color; this variety starting 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 neces¬ 
sary for color. (See Color page F). |Each[ 12 | 100

lie de France 
(Illustrated on back 
cover). A sensational 
new variety, of more uniform moderate 
growth, and greater brilliance of color 
in the bloom. Thick flower spikes 6 to 
9 inches long, sweetly fragrant; rosy 
purple with a deep violet suffusion. 
2-yr., 50c each; 3 for $1.35. 
MACrNIFICA. This variety is one of the 
hardiest for all sections. Flower spikes 
10 inches in length by 3 inches in diam¬ 
eter are not unusual. Color deep violet- 
rose or lavender, with a pronounced 
orange center; the margins of petals 
neatly reflexed. 
2-yr., 35c each ; 3 for $1.00. 
BOX-BARBERRY (B. compacts). An improved Thunbergi 
type, its foliage so round and dense, and its growth so even¬ 
ly compact, it bears a striking resemblance to Boxwood. 
Slower, lower growing and denser than 
Thunbergi. |Each| 12 | 100
