Genlemen: I like your plants very much and my sister-in-law, Harriet 
Stump, and I both feel that your shrubbery etc. is much stronger and 
better rooted stock than most we got from some other nurseries. I, as 
president of our local Gardenr,Club, have suggested to our members that 
they try and order from you and I believe several have done so. I assure 
you if I can be Of any service to you I will—for it is very encouraging 
to get worth while plants, and as I order from a number of nurseries I 
know the difference. 
Very Trply,'- 
^ - - MRS. GEORGE A. STUMP 
P. S. In looking over the list of sfiriihs etc. I ordered I realize that 
every one is starting out nicely except the Rose, Mrs. E. P. Thom, and it 
has not had time. I feel sure it will. Some of the Spireas bloomed.

BERBERIS Thmiiberg'i (Japanese Barberry). This plant is one of 
the finest ornamental hedging and banking plants in use, especially 
for low informal hedging and along sidewalks, nothing can rival it.

trying to get rid of.

BERBERIS Thunbergfi atropurpurea (New Red-Leaved Bat- 
berry). A highly important introduction among shrubs, giving us for 
the first tifh'^,' a. practical, easily grown shrub of medium height, 
with good distinctly red foliage. This must prove a boon to all 
types of landscaping, where studied contrasts are to be worked 
out with the shrub foliage depended on for colors. Atropurpurea is 
an exact .reproduction of Thunbergi in every way—habit, leaf- 
formation* and fruiting; but, whereas the original is a deep green 
from spring until fall, this variety starts off in its firstcfoliage a 
warm bronzy red, the heat of summer intensifying its richness. The 
abundant scarlet berries persist throughout the winter along the 
dense network of spiny twi^s. A sunny exposure is necessary to 
bring out and retain its full red color. Each Per 10
