A Real Novelty in Shrubs 

 New^ Red-leaved Japanese Barberry 



(Berberis Thunbergi Atropurpurea) 



Illustrated in colors on the plate opposite. 



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 plant- 

 ing 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, becoming 

 more brilliant and gorgeous throughout the summer and in the fall changes to 

 vivid orange, scarlet and red shades. In this coloring it is unequalled 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. 



In order to develop its brilliant coloring at all seasons it must be planted in 



full exposure to the sun.
