Rerberis thunbergi—Japanese Barberry 
BERBERIS - Barberry (Continued) 
§B. thunbergi. Japanese Barberry. 5 ft. (M.) We know of no better 
hedge plant and slow'growing shrub for New England and other 
northern states than the Japanese Barberry. The plant is not only 
hardy but also graceful and attractive. Its foliage is of a rich green 
color in the summer, and in the autumn is very brightly colored. 
The fruit is equally showy and remains on the plants from the last 
of the summer until mid'winter. Like other hedge plants, the Bar¬ 
berry should be planted at the rate of one plant to one foot of 
ground—in other words, a space of 75 feet will require 75 plants. 
Our plants are well grown and very bushy, and our prices are 
reasonable for stock of this quality. 
Remember that we allow the 100 rate on 25 or more plants of 
one kind.

§tB. thunbergi atropurpurea. Red-Leaved Japanese Barberry. Illus¬ 
trated in color on page 37. 5 ft. Exactly like the Japanese Barberry, 
except the foliage is a dark red and maintains this color through¬ 
out the season. This makes a splendid plant for a situation where 
something bright and cheery is desired, and one that needs no cod¬ 
dling or special care, beyond ordinary soil and unobstructed sun¬ 
shine.

Truehedge Columnberry 
B. thunbergi erecta. Truehedge Column- 
berry. (Plant Patent No. 110.) A 
wonderful recent improvement of the 
old dependable Japanese Barberry, 
having every good point of its parent 
type—its hardiness and its adaptability 
to wide variations of soils and expos¬ 
ures. Besides this, Truehedge Column- 
berry has darker foliage than the Jap¬ 
anese Barberry, remaining dark in 
spite of severe drought; its fall color 
is even richer and deeper; and its scar¬ 
let berries are borne with still greater 
profusion. But most important of all 
the advantages of Truehedge Column- 
berry is its dense, erect, bushy, col¬ 
umnar shape, which makes a perfect 
hedge the instant it is planted, and 
needs little pruning to keep it perfect.

BUDDLEIA - Butterflybush 
Attracts Butterflies 
A beautiful group of flowering shrubs with gray-green foliage. 
Flowers are large spikes or panicles, usually in some shade of pink, 
purple or lavender, from July to September. Buddleias are partially 
tender, most varieties winter-killing to the ground; mostly the roots 
survive and send up new tops each year. Buddleias decidedly prefer 
the sun. 
Buddleia alternifolia. Chinese Butterflybush. 8 ft. Big, arching shrubs 
with bold, woolly gray foliage and clusters of lilac-purple flowers. 
This is a hardy variety, withstanding rigorous climates. 
Each 10 
18 to 24 in.$0.75 $6.50 
B., Charming. (See color illustration on page 38.) 6 ft. A glorious 
new shrub bearing throughout the late summer and autumn, 
elegant long sprays covered with lovely blooms which, compared 
with other Buddleias introduced up to date, are distinctly pink. 
For September and October flowers we suggest pinching off the 
first flower spikes which develop in July to aid in the development 
of side branches which will bring a greater abundance of flowers 
during the autumn months. Like other Buddleias, this new va¬ 
riety attracts a great many colorful butterflies—a feature which 
accounts for the popular name of this showy, hardy shrub. Charm¬ 
ing gives a wonderful effect in the garden and has exceptional 
value for house decoration. These will flower this year.

B. davidi magnifica. Oxeye Butterflybush. 6 ft. (M.) An attractive 
shrub which produces an abundance of fragrant, sbowy, rosy pur¬ 
ple flowers with orange-yellow centers, from August on. 
Each 10 
3 yrs.$0.60 $5.00 
B., He de France. 5 ft. Fragrant, brilliant rosy purple flowers in Au¬ 
gust and September. One of the most vivid. 
Each 10 
2 yrs.$0.75 $6.50 
CALLICARPA 
Callicarpa purpurea. Chinese Beautyberry. 5 ft. Small, pale pink 
flowers on arching stems followed by violet fruit. Rather tender, 
but if killed back to ground will flower and fruit on new wood 
following season. 
Each 
2 to 3 ft.$0.75 
AUTUMN FRUITS 
Along with the spring-flowering shrubs select others for their 
autumn fruits and brightly colored foliage. You will find the fruits 
as colorful as flowers and frequently they remain much longer.
