EVERGREEN. Really a handsome evergreen shrub. The 
narrow two inch leaves are surprisingly white underneath 
and the graceful branching arrangement displays the un¬ 
usual whitish flowers and black fruits nicely. This has 
done well with us in hot sun as well as in half-shade.

vernae. 5'-6' Vernae Barberry 
From the standpoint of fruits the most beautiful of all the 
family. The vigorous stems arch over and in June are 
closely studded with little bunches of rich yellow flowers 
which give way to the coral-red bloom covered berries 
bearing down the branches resembling miniature grapes.

EVERGREEN. The aristocrat of Barberries, this evergreen 
develops into a compact mound densely covered with rich 
lustrous green foliage that reminds one of miniature Eng¬ 
lish Holly leaves with a whitish underside. In spring the 
branches are strung with little golden cups nodding on 
half inch threads. These fragrant flowers are followed by 
bloomy black fruits. A splendid 
low hedge plant.

vulgaris. 8'-9' European Barberry 
This handsome foreigner has become naturalized here and 
is most adaptable. The long drooping clusters of yellow 
flowers are followed by brilliant red oblong-shaped berries 
arranged most effectively along the arching branches. 
Although handsome at all times the inch long leaves are 
glorious in their purple and red autumn dress.

Purple Barberry 
Quite similar to the type in all respects but the full 
blooded purple-red foliage. The three parted spines are 
just as formidable; berries seem slightly deeper in color.
