A Real Novelty in Shrubs 



New Red-leaved Japanese Barberry 



(Berberis Thunbergi Atropurxiurea) 



It is only once in a lifetime that a really worth 

 while outstanding novelty in hardy shrubs is intro- 

 duced 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 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 sea- 

 sons it must be planted in full exposure to the sun.
