A beautiful variety with small foliage, assuming the most varied tints of coloring in the autumn. Has attractive scarlet berries which remain on the plant the greater part of the winter. Very desirable for grouping, par- ticularly around the base of a porch or veranda to hide the foundation; succeeds in sun or shade, and is the best hedge plant we know. 30c each; $ per doz.; $ per 100. 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 advances this new Barberry becomes more brilliant and gorgeous and in the fall its foliage changes to shades of vivid orange, scarlet, and red. All that is required to develop its brilliant coloring at all seasons is that it be planted in full exposure to the sun. For other Barberries see pages 122 and 123.
