Kolkwitzia amabilis 
An abelia-like, free-growing shrub of ex- 
treme hardiness, from 5 to 7 feet tall and 
as much through, with ascending, arching 
stems, soft hairy leaves, and tubular pink 
flowers with mottled orange throats. The 
flowers are borne twenty to fifty together, 
in rounded clusters which are produced in 
great abundance throughout the whole 
length of the branch, and in June the whole 
bush is a shower of pure pink. The flowers 
are followed by curious cobwebby fruits 
which are quite attractive. Absolutely 
hardy and very free-growing, this new and 
rare Chinese shrub is considered by its 
introducer, E. H. Wilson, one of the finest 
exotic plants ever brought into American 
gardens. Pot-grown plants, $2.00 each; 
strong field-grown plants, $4.00 each.
