BARBERRIES 
Beautiful in Summer and Winter 
The Barberries have come to be well known as 
hedge plants, and the Japanese variety is particu¬ 
larly appropriate for the purpose. When grown as 
a hedge it makes a most effective boundary to the 
grounds. It requires little or no trimming and its 
thorns are very effective against dogs and other 
depredators. 
THUNBERGII — Japanese Barberry. A beautiful 
variety of dwarf habit. The spiny branches are cov¬ 
ered with small green foliage, changing to bright 
red in the fall. It bears a mass of bright red ber¬ 
ries, which persist during the winter.

New Red-Leaved Barberry 
BERBERIS THUNBERGI ATROPURPUREA. A 
highly important introduction among shrubs, giving 
us for the first time a practical easily grown shrub 
of medium height, with good distinctly red foliage. 
Atropurpurea is an exact reproduction of Thunbergi 
in every way—habit, leaf-formation and fruiting; but, 
whereas the original is a deep green from spring 
until fall, this variety starts off in its first foliage a 
warm bronzy red ; the heat of summer intensifying 
its red brilliancy; autumn adding other tints to its 
richness. The abundant scarlet berries persist 
throughout winter along the dense network of spiny 
twigs. A sunny exposure is necessary to bring out 
and retain its full red color.
