For Summer Bloom 
As nearly all of the better known 
shrubs bloom in the Spring, many gar¬ 
dens are devoid of flowers during the 
summer months when they can be en¬ 
joyed the most. The following worth¬ 
while shrubs have this summer-flowering 
appeal. 
Oakleaved Hydrangea 
(Hydrangea quercifolia) 
This is the Aristocrat of the Hydrangeas, not 
to be confused with the common dooryard va¬ 
riety. Its large substantial leaves resemble the 
oak leaf; attractive panicled blooms appear in 
early summer, and the autumn coloring is al¬ 
most beyond description. Not hard to grow; only 
its scarcity has kept it in the background. The 
one shrub we recommend for that shadiest place, 
if not too dry. 
Oakleai’ed Hydrangea 
This photograph of the Variegated Weigela was taken late 
in Noi’ember, and shows the persistant bloom and richly 
colored leai’es

Improved Variegated 
Weigela 
Weigela argenteo- 
marginata variegata 
Although we have indicated a 
botanical name, we assure you that 
this plant has not been disseminated 
before this time. Its character is 
entirely unlike the old Weigela. 
The yellowish-white border on 
the margin of the narrow, deep- 
green leaf makes this Weigela one 
of the most strikingly beautiful of 
shrubs. 
Two-toned pink blossoms com¬ 
pletely cover the plant in late May, 
and then scattering blooms are pro¬ 
duced throughout the summer and 
fall, being similar to Philadelphus 
virginal in this respect. Stem is 
reddish. 
Buy now on our recommenda¬ 
tion and you will want more next 
season. Arboretums will need this 
plant to complete their Weigela 
collections. 
2 to 3 ft. Plants, $0.60 each; 
Three for $1.50 
3 to 4 ft. Plants, $0.85 each; 
Three for $2.25
