Red-Leaved Barberry (Berberis Thunbergi Atropurpurea) 
Beautiful new red-leaved sport of the Japanese Barberry, prized for its 
bright foliage the entire season. Ricn, lustrous bronze-red, like the rich- 
est red-leaved maples—becoming more brilliant and gorgeous in sum- 
mer, changing to vivid orange-scarlet in autumn. A leaf coloring un- 
equaled by any shrub, is followed by brilliant scarlet berries all winter. 
To develop its high coloring at all seasons plant in full exposure to the 
sun. Adds distinction to any planting. Makes a perfect color companion, 
immune to rust and disease.

BUXUS (Boxwood) 
| 
| There is no doubt that ‘Box’ is one of the finest and most useful of 
the broadleaf evergreens. It lends itself to all kinds of uses in the 
garden or as specimens in tubs on the porch or terrace. 
| It has three particularly fine and unusual attributes which are not 
commonly found in other shrubs: 
| One: It does well on poor soils. 
Two: It grows luxuriantly in sun or shade. 
Three: It grows fine under the drip of tall trees. 
Further, no matter how old or how big it gets, you can successfully 
| transplant it, move it, or sell it.

English Box (Boxwood Edging) 
This is the English “‘Box’’ and the best kind to use for edgings 
around flower or rose beds. It can be clipped and kept so it will not 
exceed 12 inches in height. 
4 to 6 inches high 
6 to 8 inches high 
Korean Box ; 
It is very hardy and will grow where the more tender English Box will 
winter-kill. The Korean Box is successfully grown in the Botanic Gardens 
in Montreal, Canada. It*can be clipped to suit. Makes a perfect edging 
for beds; may also be grown to form dwarf hedges 2 feet high or more. 
- We offer nice young plants grown in pots, with small ball of earth.

COTONEASTER 
| Divaricata Hedging size, 18 to 24 inches, Doz. $10.00, 100 $70.90 
A low growing, much branched and graceful shrub from China. Its 
ultimate height is about five feet and it is perfectly suited for hedges 
| of medium height, say from 3 to 5 feet, Foliage is small and round, 
highly polished dark green. It creates a splendid effect. Brilliant small 
egg-shaped, red fruits in autumn add to its beauty. Few shrubs 
equal Cotoneaster Divaricata in the border or as a hedge plant. 
Multiflora Hedging size, 2 to 3 feet, Doz. $10.00, 100 $70.00

Doz. $6.00, 100 $40.00, 1000 $385.00 
Doz. $7.25, 100 $50.00, 1000 $485.00 
Here follows a report published by the nationally famous Morton 
Arboretum of Lisle, Illinois: ‘“More spectacular are the red-fruited 
| forms, which comprise a majority of the species in cultivation. Of these, 
Cotoneaster Multiflora is a perennial favorite here. Our greatest speci- 
| men has long since exceeded its designated ultimate height, and grown 
into a shapely bush 10 feet tall. The whip-like branches are arching 
| and spreading, and in late May erupt along the entire length into 
| clusters of white Hawthorn-like flowers. An effect equally pleasing 
prevails in autumn when good sized crimson fruits of dazzling brilliance 
fringe the branches. They remain effective well into October or No- 
vember. Between the flowering and fruiting seasons, interest is fur- 
nished by the broad, clean appearing foliage of soft blue-green.” For 
hedges this variety is particularly well adapted. 
This wonderful hardy Box came from Korea and while it does not 
have quite as shiny a leaf as the English Box, it is infinitely hardier 
and can be grown where temperatures go well below zero. Korean 
Box is successfully grown in Toronto and Montreal, Canada. There
