 growth it is naturally bushy and symmetrical. 

 It grows vigorously, yet not rampant, and is with- 

 out difficulty kept in good form. All varieties are 

 exceedingly free bloomers. No collection of shrubs 

 is considered complete without one or more varie- 

 ties of this favorite.

 growth; flowers trumpet-shaped, white.

 crimson. 



W. Rosea — Perhaps the most popular shrub yet in- 



• troduced; bears rose-colored, trumpet-shaped 

 flowers in great profusion on the gracefully bend-

 self admirably to shady places where few shrubs 

 will do well, although it attains its "greatest per- 

 fection in fully exposed situations. 



W. Rosea Variegata — A beautiful variety of the 

 above; contrasts very pleasingly with other 

 shrubs; foliage green margined with creamy 

 white, flowers pink.
