ARONIA arbutifolia brilliantissima (Brilliant Chokeberry). 3 to 5 ft. 
A useful shrub combining good habits of growth, attractive sum- 
mer and fall foliage, showy flowers and brilliant fruits. The me- 
dium size leaves are glossy green, turning bright red in the fall. 
The white flowers in early May are followed by fruit which be- 
comes brilliant red in the fall and is very persistent. One of our 
best berry-bearing shrubs. Will grow in sun or partial shade but 
requires ample moisture.

useful. 
From our fields this year we shall take the finest shrubs possible to grow—large, well 
developed, with good roots, and not by any means like the shrubs sold on ‘’bargain’’ 
counters, which in many cases are of unknown origin. In fact, Hillenmeyer shrubs carry 
several canes, and only the small sizes can be sent by parcel post.

Berberis - Barberry 
BERBERIS thunbergi (Japanese Barberry). 3 to 4 ft. Low, compact 
shrub with horizontal or arched branches. Twigs thorny, making 
it ideal for an almost impregnable hedge when mature. If left 
unpruned it will develop into a graceful, moundlike plant. The 
small green leaves come out early in the spring, along with the 
small yellow flowers. The foliage takes on a brilliant orange- 
scarlet when in the open and the flowers are followed by brilliant 
red fruit which persists throughout the winter. Will grow in al- 
most any location but should be watered in periods of extreme 
drought.

thunbergi atropurpurea (Red Leaf Barberry). 3 to 4 ft. Re- 
sembles the Japanese Barberry in growth, but the foliage is bril- 
liant blood-red in spring. The color holds all summer in sun, but 
in shady places it becomes a beautiful bronzy green. Its winter 
charm is enhanced by red berries that remain until spring. Few 
shrubs attract so much attention, or add so much color to a dull 
border. We consider it one of the best plants, and our stock is 
strong and vigorous.
