Novelty 
Abelia Floribunda 
RED ABELIA 
Habit spreading with erect shoots; maximum 
height probably not over 4 ft., leaves evergreen, 
small and handsome; flowers enormous compared with 
other Abelias, trumpet-shaped and from 1% to 2 
inches long (illustration is slightly less than natural 
size) ; color bright rose red. 
Bears an unbelievable profusion of bloom and well 
deserves the name “floribunda." 
Experience has shown that it prefers moisture and 
shade and probably will not thrive well in hot dry 
climates except when given plenty of shade and 
water. 
As yet we are unable to say how much cold it 
will stand but believe it will be nearly if not quite 
as hardy as other Abelias. 
Where conditions are specially favorable it blooms 
continuously. One good specimen in San Francisco 
has never been without flowers for the last two 
years. 
Owing to success in propagation we now have a 
large stock so are able to quote prices considerably 
lower than last year.
