Department of Agriculture--on account of their harboring wheat rust. LLL Lire irizie. See Descriptions Below The common or tall European barberry of which' there are two forms, the one with green leaves (B. vulgaris, of the catalogs) ana the one with purple leaves (variety purpurea). Both of these are dangerous. The low spreading Japanese barberry (Thunberg's barberry or B. thunbergii), which is harmless. The Dangerous Kind. The common or tall barberry can always be told by its upright growth, 3 to 10 or more feet high, gray branches and the fact that spines are usually in threes and the red to purplish berries hang in clusters. There is practically no diffierence between the green and purple varieties except in color of leaf. Both harbor the rust, therefore are dangerous and should be removed at once. The Harmless Kind. The Japanese barberry is a low, spreading, much-branched shrub, 2 to 4 feet in height, the brown branches bearing one spine in a place and the rows of bright red berries hanging singly or in twos. This does not bear the rust, therefore is harmless and can be grown safely. In recent years this has been planted much more than the dangerous kind. Let us identify those on your place and remove--offering sug- gestions for replanting the spaces-- Tussock Moth Now is the time to pick off the egg masses and band with Tanglefoot.
