Autumn, 1931 * A Good Time to Plant Shrubs and Vines 



Weigelas (Diemlla) 



Old garden favorites with good foliage and flowering abundantly. These 

 shrubs are almost indispensable in a shrubbery border. 



W., Eva Rathke. The everblooming Red Weigela. This is a mosl desirable 

 and very hardy shrub. It produces great quantities of crimson Bowers 

 with creamy markings nearly all the growing season. Plant in front of 

 the shrub border as the bush is spreading in habit and grows to about 

 4 to 5 feet. 



W. rosea. An old garden favorite. Rose-pink flowers come in such pro- 

 fusion that they almost hide the foliage.
