Similar in all respects to the green-leaved Japanese Barberry

 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.
