The Three Best Shrubs 
and Most Admired 
Beauty Bush 
(Kolkwitzia amabilis) 
A wonderful new, and as yet, very rare or- 
namental shrub, originating in the wilderness 
of China. Lovely and graceful, and finer than 
any Weigela ever offered. Covered early in 
May with the utmost profusion of bloom. The 
individual flowers are rather small, lipped 
something like a foxglove, clear pink with 
brownish spots and veins. The flowers are pro- 
duced along the entire length of the branches 
in clusters at the ends of the short, leafy 
shoots, and are borne in such profusion that 
the bush is one cloud of delicate pink. The 
tiny rose colored buds are fascinatingly hood' 
ed with fuzzy jackets which remain to decor' 
ate the seed pods. The graceful habit of the 
bush, its year-round beauty in foliage and 
habit, its free flowering qualities and pleasing 
color, combined with perfect hardiness make 
this one of the most beautiful and useful 
shrubs.

Korean Spirea 
(Spirea trichocarpa) 
This handsome new shrub was discov- 
ered in Korea, and has been enthusiastic- 
ally admired by all who have seen it since 
its introduction in America, and has been 
acclaimed the best of all the Spireas. It is 
a splendid, healthy plant, growing, when 
matured, 4 to 6 feet tall, and even greater 
in diameter, forming a big, dome-shaped 
bush covered in its season with large, 
rounded clusters of snowy flowers marked 
with darker eyes. It is hardy as far north 
as Montreal, and is most attractive in habit 
and foliage, even when not in bloom. It is 
more robust and blooms 2 weeks

Symphoricarpos Chenaulti 
(New Red Snowberry) 
This new Red Snowberry is the greatest shrub for 
shady places that we have ever seen introduced. It grows 
to a height of 4 feet. Has long branches covered with 
lacy leaves, the branches of which in turn are covered in 
late fall with a mass of glowing red berries twice the 
size of the old Indian Currant and as red as High Bush 
Cranberry. Don’t fail to plant some of these shrubs in 
your shady location.
