large flowers are often three inches across, and every branch is completely cov- 
ered with lustrous lovely blue flowers from June until frost. Unlike most other 
flowers as the season advances it becomes more gorgeous and the vivid pure 
blue becomes more outstanding. Here is a shrub that will thrive under the most 
unfavorable conditions. It is not particular of the kind of soil, does well in 
low damp places and thrives in poor soil where there is but little moisture. It

RED LEAF BARBERRY—tThere is nothing 
so strikingly brilliant in hardy shrubbery as

the green and yellow of other plants. Valu-
