Buddleio, lie de France 
T HERE is some place for flowering shrubs around every home 
—-cottage, mansion, or palace. A corner needs a little color, 
a foundation wall needs to be concealed, a garage should be 
screened. In all these places flowering shrubs are adaptable, 
and useful. 
From our fields this year we shall take the finest shrubs pos¬ 
sible to grow—large, well developed, with good roots, and not 
by any means like the shrubs sold on "bargain" counters, which 
many cases are of unknown origin. In fact, Hillenmeyer 
shrubs carry several canes, and only the small sizes can be sent 
by parcel post—others go by express. 
In the descriptions "F" indicates adaptability for foundation 
planting. The figures following the name indicate height at 
maturity.

New Red-Leaf Barberry 
Introduced several years ago, this new plant, 
Berberis thunbergi atropurpurea, has become 
immensely popular. It resembles the Japanese 
Barberry in growth, but the foliage is brilliant 
blood-red in spring. The color holds all sum¬ 
mer in sun, but in shady places it becomes a 
beautiful bronzy green. Its winter charm is en¬ 
hanced by red berries that remain until spring. 
Few shrubs attract so much attention, or add 
so much color to a dull border. We consider it 
one of the best newer plants, and our stock is 
strong and vigorous. This year the price is so 
low that the Red-Leaf Barberry should be used 
freely. Each 5
