FLOWERING SHRUBS FOR EVERY PURPOSE 
5 
Weigela Rosea. 
A NEW SNOWBALL 
Viburnum carlesi. A valuable recent in¬ 
troduction from Korea, producing its 
delicate spice-scented flowers in May 
and June. The buds before expanding 
are an attractive pink, developing into 
Bouvardia-like umbels of pure white. 
Flowers preserve their perfect form 
and purity of color an unusually long 
time, and are extensively scented. The 
bush is rounded, slow growing to four 
feet; with broadly oval leaves, dull 
green above, glaucous beneath and 
hairy on both sides, autumn painting 
them luxuriantly. See illustration. 
WEIGELA 
The Weigelas form a part of practi¬ 
cally every planting, not only on account 
of their habit of growth, but on account 
of the colors available. 
Candida. A rapid growing variety and 
used a great deal for screen and mass 
plantings ; flowers a beautiful white. 
Eva Rathke. The best of all the varie¬ 
ties, low growing and very floriferous ; 
its beautiful deep glowing red flowers 
make this variety very popular, fine 
for mass plantings. 
Rosea. The next popular variety but a 
little taller grower than Eva Rathke, 
but has just as many flowers which 
are a beautiful pink color. 
Variegated. Much in demand on ac¬ 
count of the variegated foliage, flow¬ 
ers a pinkish white. 
Floribunda. This is a crimson variety 
and used a great deal in landscape 
plantings, a very heavy flowering va¬ 
riety.
