BEAUTY BUSH 
The Boaiity Bush (Kolkwitzia) is an oxcocdingly handsome orna¬ 
mental shrub whi(di 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 w'hole 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 and pleasing color, combined with perfect hardi¬ 
ness, make this one of the most beautiful and useful shrubs. Will do well in semi¬
