NEW AND RARE PLANTS 



Mostly collected for the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard 

 University by E. H, Wilson, in remote regions of China 



KOLKWITZIA amabilis. An abelia-like, free-growing shrub of extreme 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. Abso- 

 lutely 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 each; strong, field-grown plants, $4 each.
