Foundation planting of Barberry and other shrubs 
Barberry, Japanese or Thunberg’s; Berberis Thunbergi 
Discovered in 1864, it has become one of the most popular 
shrubs. Of dwarf, dense, compact, spreading habit, with grace- 
ful spiny branches. It is excellent for foundation plantings, 
about doorways, walks, etc., and for massing in front of taller 
shrubs, or makes a good hedge. It grows 2 to 4 ft. high, or 
may be kept any height desired by pruning in the spring. It 
thrives in moderately fertile, well drained soil, and endures par- 
tial shade. Its small, beautiful bright green leaves appear very 
early, and color brilliantly in autumn, a mingling of bronze, 
orange, scarlet and crimson. ‘The tiny, greenish-yellow flowers 
in April are followed by scarlet berries 3/8 to % inch long in 
October and remaining into late winter or early spring. This 
variety does not produce wheat rust.
