DWARF RED BARBERRY 
CRIMSON PYGMY D> 
Three years ago we obtained from Holland a 
number of plants of the miniature form of the 
Red-Leaved Barberry. Everyone who has seen it 
wants it because of its charm and delightful 
coloring of its foliage. 
The old leaves are bronzy blood-red, while the 
new growth tips are several shades lighter, 
which sparkle in the sunlight. 
Our oldest stock plants, now several years 
old, measure 15 to 18 inches in diameter and 
are about 6 to 8 inches high. Each one is a 
picture in itself. Individual plants are colorful 
and wil! make a fine showing in front of any 
shrub planting, in front of a house for instance. 
It is of slow growth so it will be a year or 
two more before we can offer it in quantities 
for use as edging to walks or flower beds where 
it will be most attractive. We offer a limited 
number of plants now about 5 to 8 inches 
in. diameter. Must be grown in full sun in
