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, etc., 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, 34 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.

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 1!/2 to 
2/2 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 10 in. or 
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.
