Barberrv Thunbercri (Japanese Barberry.) Grows to 
uuiueuy tnunDergij, height of 2 to 3 feet, densely 
branched and with a clean, healthy foliage, shining dark green 
throughout the summer, changing to a high tone of scarlet in 
the fall. Berries showy crimson, remaining on the bush through 
the winter are adding to the splendid appearance of this shnub. 
Stands shearing well, and is often grown for globe and box 
shapes, also for hedges. Has small thorns along the branches. 
For a neat border shrub this is one of the best.

form. Blooms early in the spring in dense racemes of white 
flowers, a beautiful sight when in full bloom. The cherry 
that appears later in the season is purple black, sometimes 
used for canning. Hardy everywhere. 2 to 3 ft. nice shrubs, 
35c each; 3 for 90c; prepaid. 
Red Leaf Barberry (Atropurpurea) p h e e 
strain as the Japanese Barberry, also growing to a height of 2 
to 3 ft. However, the foliage of this barberry is of a bronzy- 
red color throughout the entire summer, coloring up to a fiery 
red in the fall. In a sunny or partly sunny place the color 
develops best, in full shade it remains almost green. Can also 
be sheared to forms, in landscape work it is used very gener¬ 
ally for color effect. My shrubs are selected for extra good 
color.

Mrs. Arno Schreier of Maplewood, New Jersey, sent us this picture 
of her nice city garden, and out-door living room planted with 
Sonderegger’s shrubs and flowers. 
Double Flowering Almond 
Double Pink 
(Prunus Amygdalus.) Will form a 
well shaped bush 4 to 5 ft. high, 
with erect main canes and bushy branches. In April 
when the double rose-shaped blossoms cover the slender 
branches of the bush it is truly a gorgeous sight. Hardy 
as far north as southern half of Nebraska and Iowa. For 
the North, I recommend Prunus Triloba in place of this 
almond. 
Double White 
In habit of growth, in its wealth 
of flowers and in blooming time: 
also in hardiness the same as the double pink variety. 
Blossoms are also perfectly double, rose shaped, and gre 
pure white. These beautiful shrubs should be in every 
shrub planting. 
Priroc of double flowering Almond, white and pink: 
f 2 to 3 ft. nice shrubs, 65c each; 3 for $1.75; 
prepaid.
