jfapan Barberry (Berberis Cbimbergii.) 
A NOTHER fine addition to our list of shrubs. It is of low growing habit, forming a 
compact growth seldom over four feet. Ir makes a splendid specimen, groups well 
with other shrubs and as a hedge plant where a low informal hedge is required nothing 
can rival this barberry. The foliage until Autumn is a pleasing light green, but as the 
frost appears this barberry begins to take on deep amber green tints, slowly changing to 
the deepest crimson and finally to rich yellow, and as the foliage drops the crimson ber¬ 
ries, which were before partially hidden from view, fairly rival the foliage in its former 
brilliancy. These berries remain on without withering throughout the winter, giving a 
very beautiful effect. Prices . c or prge 15. 
'fern-Leafed Sumach (Rhus Uypbtna Vat*.Lacimata.) 
T HIS remarkable variety of our native stag-horn sumach was found on the hills of \ eI 
mont. It has the same rapid robust growth of the common form, producing the 
same showy cones of bright red fruit, but, as the illustration below will show, the 
leaves are so beautifully formed that they rival the most delicate fern in their intricacy. 
For massing with other effective foliage shrubs the effect can be very striking. It can 
also be cut to the ground each season if desired and a mass of the most beautiful folia&e 
will result. Ibis shrub will thrive on the poorest of soils with a surprising luxuriance.
