Shrubs, continued 
Barberry, Japanese or Thunberg’s; Berberis Thunbergi 
Discovered in 1864, it has become one of the most popular 
shrubs. Dwarf, dense, compact, spreading habit; graceful 
spiny branches; excellent for foundation plantings, about 
doorways, walks, ete., and for massing in front of taller 
shrubs; 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 
partial shade. Its small, beautiful bright green leaves, 3g to 
1 in. long, appear very early, and color brilliantly in autumn, 
a mingling of bronze, orange, scarlet and crimson. Tiny 
greenish-yellow flowers in April; scarlet berries 3 to 14 in. 
long in October, remaining into late winter or early spring. 
This variety does not produce wheat rust.

Butterfly Bush; Summer Lilac; Buddleia 
Perhaps no shrub blooms more profusely and over a longer

tinuing until frost. The dense panicles, sometimes 10 in. or 
more long, flowers resembling lilacs, attract the butterflies.

ers off as they fade. Succeeds with sun half the day. Mound

roses. Prune to the ground each spring.

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, 3 in. long, color

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 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.
