Hardy Ornamental Shrubs 
Shrubs have many uses, such as a dividing line between the flower 
and the vegetable garden, or between the lawn and uncultivated ground 
beyond; as a background to a flower border; for hiding an unsightly 
building, fence or foundation, or they may be planted in a mixed shrub- 
bery border, in which case those of short, dense growth should be planted 
along the front of the border, graduating to the tall-growing kinds at the 
back. 
ARROWWOOD— 
8-10 feet. An attractive shrub with pe- 
culiar dentate leaves, bright green foliage 
turning to rich purple and red in the fall. 
White flowers followed by small blue- 
black berries that are relished by the 
birds. Does well in shade. 3-4 ft., $1.00

ly in full bloom before leaves appear.

grouping or for lawn. 3-4 ft., $1.25. 
BARBERRY 
The Barberries are a most interesting 
family of shrubs, varying in size from 
two to six feet, rich in variety of leaf, 
flower and habit. Their orange and 
yellow flowers in May or June are suc- 
ceeded by a small but highly colored 
fruit. In some of the species the foliage 
assumes rich autumnal tints. In many 
places they are much used for hedging 
purposes. For this use they give the best 
effect when grown as a loose hedge and 
not sheared too closely. 
THUNBERGGI—

dense, impenetrable bush. The twiggy 
branches are set with small, sharp thorns 
and in spring are covered with small 
yellow flowers succeeded by brilliant 
scarlet berries. The foliage takes a 
splendid autumn coloring of gold and 
scarlet. 12-18 inch, 40¢; 18-24 inch, 60¢; 
2-3 ft., 75¢.

with the red berries, and bronze and 
yellow of the foliage. A splendid fore- 
ground shrub; beautiful in hedges. 12-18
