BARBERRY 
BARBERRY PRUINOSA—New Evergreen Type. 
This barberry is an introduction by the United 
States Department of Agriculture and to the best 
of our knowledge we are the first to offer it to the 
public. We believe it to be a valuable addition to 
our list of broad-leaf evergreens. It is a larger grow¬ 
ing bush than the Japanese barberry; the leaves are 
spiney and light green in 
color. Attractive. 
Useful 
for foundation and group 
planting. Each.

BOXWOOD-VIRGINIA GROWN 
Boxwood has long been one of our spe¬ 
cialities, as it has been and still is, aside 
from its sentimental and historic value in 
association with Virginia, the most prac¬ 
tical, durable and beautiful plant that can 
be used. Its use will add dignity and charm 
to any home or garden. We have several 
hundred thousand plants in the various 
sizes of our own growing besides a quantity 
of specimen collected plants of both dwarf 
and bush types.

grower than Sempervirens; foliage dark green. This
