BEAUTY BUSH 
2 to 3 ft. Plants 48c each 
KOLKWITZIA —Grows 5 to 6 feet. This is a brand new shrub, and veiy hardy. A lovely 
graceful shrub, finer than any Weigelia ever offered and covered early in May with the 
utmost profusion of bloom. The individual flowers are rather small, lipped something 
like a fox glove, clear pink with biownish spots and veins. The tiny rose colored buds 
are hooded with fuzzy jackets which remain to decorate the seed pods. It is a lovely 
thing all season. 
WEIGELIA 
3 to 4 ft. plants, 48c each; 3 for $1.35 
WEIGELIA ROSEA —Grows 3 to 5 feet. Pink blooms. I think this is the best of the 
Weigelias, as it has heavy deep green foliage. Pink flowers in June and a few all 
summer. A fine medium growing shrub. 
WEIGELIA EVA RATI1KE —Grows 4 to 6 feet. Crimson blooms. This shrub has deep 
green foliage, the flowers are red, trumpet-shaped.
