( I NEW BEAUTY BUSH 
(Kolkwitzia Amabilis) 
An exceedingly handsome ornamental shrub which has come to us 
from the wilderness of China. It grows 6 to 9 feet tall, with the inner 
stems erect or ascending and the outer ones arching to the ground, the 
whole plant forming a dome-shaped mass. The flowers are produced 
along the entire length of the branches in clusters at the ends of short leafy shoots. 
They are tubular with a gaping mouth, deep pink with yellow-brown throat and lip. 
The immense clusters of flowers are produced in great abundance, and in June the 
whole bush is a shower of pure pink. The flowers are followed by curious cobwebby 
fruits. The graceful habit of the plant, its free-flowering qualities arid pleasing color, 
combined with perfect hardiness, make this one of the most beautiful and useful
