New, RareVarieties Shrubs 
BEAUTY BUSH 
A New Flowering Shrub 
from China 
Mr. E. H. Wilson, former explorer and Keeper of the Arnold Arboretum, 
describes it as follows: 
“Of the many valuable hardy shrubs which our gardens here received 
from the Orient, none is more lovely than Kolkwitzia amabilis. Related 
to the weigelas and abelias, this new plant exceeds them in hardiness 
and in beauty. The principal stems are erect and the lateral ones arch¬ 
ing, giving the plant a compact habit, and in early June its sprays of 
abelia-like blossoms transform it into a fountain of pink loveliness. It is 
a sun-loving plant and needs loam and good drainage. 
“The graceful habit of the plant, its free flowering qualities and pleasing 
color, combined with perfect hardiness, make this one of the most beautiful as 
well as most useful shrubs that China has given to the gardens of this country."
