Shrubs 
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.

New Red-Leaf Barberry 
Introduced several years ago, this new plant, Berberis thunbergi atro- 
purpurea, has become immensely popular. It resembles the Japanese 
Barberry in growth, but the foliage is brilliant blood-red in spring. The 
color holds all summer in sun, but in shady places it becomes a beautiful 
bronzy green. Its winter charm is enhanced 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 Five 
15 to 18 in.$0.40 $1.75 
11/ 2 to 2 ft. 60 2.50 
21/2 to 3 ft.75 3.50 
Buddleia, 
Charming 
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 
in 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.
