New Red Leaved Japanese 

 Barberry 



(Berberis Thunbergi Atropurpurea) 



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. 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. 



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

 it be planted in full exposure to the sun.
