It 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 plant- ing 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, becoming more brilliant and gorgeous throughout the summer and in the fall changes to vivid orange, scarlet and red shades. In this coloring it is unequalled 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. In order to develop its brilliant coloring at all seasons it must be planted in full exposure to the sun.
