T IS only once in a lifetime that a really worth-while, outstanding novelty in hardy
shrubs is introduced, 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 planting in clumps
on the Iawm, 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. However, unlike these and other colored shrubs in which the coloring fades or
disappears entirely as the season advances, this new Barberry becomes more brilliant
and gorgeous throughout the summer, and in the fall its foliage changes to vivid orange,
scarlet, and red shades, more brilliant and more effective than in the ordinary Japanese
Barberry. In this coloring it is unequaled 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.

All that is required to develop its brilliant coloring at all seasons is that it be planted
in full exposure to the sun.
