BEAUTY BUSH

A New Flowering Shrub from China

“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.
