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 ad- 

 vances 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.
