Hardy Ornamental Hedge Plants 
Berberis Thunbergi .Atropurpurea. (New Red-Leaved Bar- 
berry ). 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. This 
: must prove a boon to all types of landscaping, where studied 
'contrasts are to be worked out with the shrub foliage de¬ 
pended on for colors. Atropurpurea is an exact reproduction 
of Thunbergi in every way — habit, leaf-formation and fruit¬ 
ing; 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 richness. 
The abundant scarlet berries persist throughout the winter 
along the dense network of spiny twigs. A sunny exposure 
is necessary to bring out and retain its full red color.
