PYRACANTHUS COCCINEA

(Evergreen Thorn or Fire Thorn)

A broad-leaved Evergreen of great value for garden decoration. The flowers
are white, the fruit orange, scarlet or red, beautifully contrasted against the glossy
evergreen foliage. It may be sheared into a perfect hedge shape; be grown
naturally; or sheared once annually. It would then grow to a height of from 6 to
8 feet, but is not exactly fast-growing in comparison with common shrubbery.

PYRACANTHUS LALANDI

is similar to the above but smaller and more compact-growing, small boxwood like
foliage, very ornamental.

Prices for both varieties as follows:

Plants from 4 in. pots #1.00 ea., #9.00 per 10; #80.00 per 100

Plants from 5 in. pots 1.50 ea., 12.00 per 10; 100.00 per 100

Plants from 6 in. pots 2.50 ea., 22.50 per 10; 175.00 per 100

NEW RED LEAVED JAPANESE BARBERRY

It is only once in a lifetime that a really worth-while, outstanding novelty in
hardy shrubs is introduced, and in this new Barberry we have such a plant.

It is similar in all respects to the green-leaved Japanese Barberry which is so
popular for mixing in the shrubbery border, as single specimens, or for planting
in clumps on the lawn, as well as for foundation plantings and for hedges, but the
foliage of this new variety is of a rich, lustrous, bronzy red, similar to the richest
red-leaved Japanese Maples. However, unlike these and other colored shrubs in
which the coloring fades or disappears entirely as the season advances, this new
Barberry becomes more brilliant and gorgeous throughout the summer, and in the
fall its foliage changes to vivid orange, scarlet, .and red shades, more brilliant and
more effective than in the ordinary Japanese Barberry. In this coloring it is
unequaled by any other shrub and is followed by the same brilliant scarlet berries
common to the type, which remain on the plant the entire winter.

All that is required to develop its brilliant coloring at all seasons is that it be

planted in full exposure to the sun.
