Flowering and Ornamental 
Shrubs 
“The beautiful lessons which ‘blossoms’ teach to children.”’—Chaplin 
HERE is a place for flowering shrubs around every home—cottage, mansion or palace. A 
corner needs a little color, a foundation wall needs to be concealed, a garage should be 
screened. In all these places flowering shrubs are adaptable and useful. 
From our fields this year we shall take the finest shrubs possible to grow—large, well de- 
veloped, with good roots, and not by any means like the shrubs sold on “‘bargain’’ 
which in many cases are of unknown origin. In fact, Hillenmeyer shrubs are heavy and carry 
several canes.

giving semi-tropical effect. The stiff, erect, very prickly stems bear compound ieaves

Berberis - Barberry 
BERBERIS thunbergi (Japanese Barberry). 3 to 4 ft. Low, compact shrub with horizontal or 
arched branches. Twigs thorny, making it ideai for an almost impregnable hedge when 
mature. If left unpruned it will develop into a graceful, moundlike plant. The small green 
leaves come out early in the spring, along with the small yellow flowers. The foliage takes 
on a brilliant orange-scarlet when in the open and the flowers are followed by brilliant 
red fruit which persists throughout the winter. Will grow in almost any location.

B. thunbergi atropurpurea (Red Leaf Burberry). 3 to 4 ft. Resembles the Japanese Barberry 
in growth, but the foliage is brilliant blood-red in spring. The color holds all summer in 
sun, but in shady places it becomes a beautiful bronzy green. Its winter charm is en- 
hanced by red berries that remain until spring. Few shrubs attract so much attention, 
or add so much color to a dull border. We consider it one of the best plants, and our stock 
is strong and vigorous.
