(Berberis Thunbergii). 4 feet. Beautiful shrub of 
neat, dense growth, with graceful drooping branches. 
Yellow flowers, followed by scarlet berries in fall and 
winter. Fine for planting along drives and walks.

evergreen planting, or-in the foreground of taller 
shrubs. As a hedge plant, set 12 to 18 inches apart.

ferent size plants of Green-Leaved Barberry and other

Red-Leaved Barberry

the color is of a rich, lustrous bronzy red. If planted 
in a sunny situation, the coloring becomes more bril- 
liant and gorgeous as the season advances, ‘and in 
the fall its foliage changes to vivid orange, scarlet 
and red shades. An excellent contrast when planted 
in the foreground of taller green-leaved shrubs, and 
makes an outstanding hedge plant. Brilliant, scarlet 
berries remain on the plant the entire winter. See
