Abelia Floribunda. 
A choice dwarf, growing small shrub of slender graceful 
habit and small dark green foliage, hardy as far north as 
Philadelphia, but requires protection in more northern latitudes. 
It produces during the entire summer and fall months, heather-

completely cover the plant. A most attractive plant that is 
always admired and which we cannot recommend too highly.
