Barberry, Red-Leaved Japanese or Red Thunberg’s 
Berberis Thunbergi atropurpurea 
A very showy shrub for lending all-summer color to the 
border, with its rich, lustrous metallic or bronzy red foliage, 
if planted in full sun; becomes green in shade; scarlet berries 
in fall and winter; holds its leaves later in autumn than the 
green-leaved Japanese. Does not produce wheat rust.

Beautybush; Kolkwitzia ‘amabilis 
Discovered in China in the 90's, it is now one of the most 
popular May flowering shrubs, when for a distance of 11/2 to 
2. ft. its arching sprays are a mass of clustered, trumpet- 
shaped flowers like Weigelas but more dainty, 34, to 1 in. 
long, pink outside, mottled with orange within. The dark | 
green foliage is dainty, up to 21/2 in. long. It attains a height 
of 4 to 6 ft; succeeds with sun half the day. Prune after 
blooming. While it does not usually bloom for a year or two 
after planting, it will, when established, reward you abun- 
dantly.

Butterfly Bush; Summer Lilac; Buddleia 
Perhaps no shrub blooms more profusely and over a longer 
period, beginning in early July, the first summer, and con- 
tinuing until frost. The dense panicles, sometimes LOminor. 
more long, flowers resembling lilacs, attract the butterflies. 
Grows 3 to 7 ft. high; may be kept lower by cutting the flow- 
ers off as they fade. Succeeds with sun half the day. Mound 
with soil during winter the same as you protect everblooming 
roses. Prune to the ground each spring.

Calycanthus floridus; Carolina Allspice; Sweet Shrub 
Formerly found in old-time gardens, its popularity is re- 
turning. Odd, double, spicily fragrant chocolate-red flowers 
about 2 in. across in early May give it a quaint beauty all 
its own. The twigs and leaves exhale an unusual camphor- 
like odor; it grows 3 to 6 ft. high; succeeds in sun or shade. 
Autumn foliage yellow. Prune after blooming.

Cotoneaster acutifolia; Peking Cotoneaster 
An upright, yet somewhat spreading shrub with graceful 
spreading branches reaching 5 to 6 ft. Leaves 1 to 2 in. long, 
dark, glossy green, in autumn purplish. Small whitish-pink 
five-petaled flowers in nodding clusters of two to five, follow- 
ed by conspicuous black berries 1/2 in. long.

Cranberry Bush; Viburnum opulus 
The parent of the Common Snowball, and like it in growth, 
but the white flowers are in flat clusters in May. The center 
flowers, which produce the berries, are small, with an outer 
ring of showy flowers like the individual flowers of the Snow- 
ball. The bright scarlet cranberry-like fruits, ¥g in. long, color 
in early August., remaining well into winter when not eaten 
by the birds. Endures partial shade; attains 8 to 12 ft.; prune, 
if necessary, after blooming.

Crape Myrtle; Lagerstroemia indica 
Its clusters of flowers 34 to 114 in. across, the petals crin- 
kled like crape, are borne in profusion throughout latter sum- 
mer in clusters 3 to 8 in. long. Foliage up to 21/2 in. long, lus- 
trous dark green. As important in the South as Lilacs in the 
North. May be grown here if mounded in winter like you 
protect everblooming roses. If the top winter injures, cut back 
to sound wood and the new growth will bloom first summer. 
Crape Myrtle is rather difficult to transplant. Often it re- 
mains alive but does not break into growth for a long time. 
Soil banked about it, a flower pot or pail inverted over it, 
often causes more rapid budding, due to moisture about the 
tops. With usual nursery care we have little trouble. As. suc- 
cess depends largely on care given, we will guarantee good 
condition when shipped but cannot assure growth. Color, 
Watermelon Red.

Desmodium, Purple; Purple Bush Clover; Desmodium 
penduliflorum; Lespedeza formosa; Desmodium Sieboldi 
In late August and September, when few other shrubs are 
blooming, Desmodium is very showy, its branches somewhat 
arched with drooping clusters 3 to 9 in. long (sometimes ex- 
tending 2 ft. along the branches) of rosy-purple flowers near- 
ly 2 in. long, like tiny peas. Its delicate-textured foliage con- 
sists of three rather small medium deep green leaflets. Grows 
3 to 4 ft. high, the clump throwing up more shoots each 
spring; freezes back in winter; should be pruned to the 
ground each spring.

Dogwood, Bailey’s; Cornus Baileyi 
After the leaves have fallen this shrub lights up the shrub- 
bery border with its dark red branches, more intense with the 
approach of winter. Flat clusters of small fuzzy, cream-white 
flowers in spring; grows 6 to 10 ft. high. Pruning to the 
ground early each spring will reduce the height and give 
more young branches which are of better color. Succeeds in 
well drained soil, in sun or partial shade.
