Berberis Thunbergi Atropurpurea. (New Red-Leaved Barberry). 
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 depended on for colors. Atropurpurea is an exact 
reproduction of Thunbergi in every way—habit, leaf-formation and 
fruiting; 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 net¬ 
work of spiny twigs. A sunny exposure is necessary to bring out 
and retain its full red color. Each Per 10
