Shrubs 
T HERE is some place for flowering shrubs around 
every home—cottage, mansion, or palace. A cor¬ 
ner 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 possible 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.

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 summer 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 atten¬ 
tion, 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 
11/2 to 2 ft.$0.60 $2.50 
21/z to 3 ft.75 3.50 
3 to 31/2 ft. 1.00 4.50
