New Red-Leaved Japanese 

 Barberry 



(Berberis Thunbergi Atropurpvirea) 



Similar in all respects to the green-leaved Japanese Bar- 

 berry 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. As the 

 season advances, this new Barberry becomes more brilliant 

 and gorgeous and in the fall its foliage 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. 

 All that is required to develop its brilliant coloring at all 

 seasons is that it be planted in full exposure to the sun.
