The Weigelas 
Weigela. (Also spell¬ 
ed Weigelia). Mod¬ 
ern botanists de¬ 
cide that this genus 
should be called 
Diervilla, but as the 
cultivated varieties 
are much mixed 
and confused by 
hybridization, they 
are here listed 
under the names by 
which they are best 
known in garden 
culture. All are 
beautiful, free 
bloomers, some 
commencing soon 
after the lilacs are 
done, and others continuing to 
bloom through the summer. 
W. aurea variegata (Variegated Weigelia). 
A neat, dwarf shrub with clearly defined 
variegation of green, yellow and pink in 
its leaves; flowers delicate pink and rose. 
One of the best variegated-leaved shrubs. 
W. Candida. Strong grower, with white 
flowers. 
W. Desboisi. Deep rose. One of the 
brightest. 
W., Eva Rathke. Moderate grower; very 
free and continuous bloomer; deep car¬ 
mine-red. 
W. hortensis nivea. Less hardy than some 
others; blooms less profusely but more 
continuously through the summer; pure 
white. 
W. Lavalle. Deep crimson. 
W. rosea. The best known old and popular 
pink variety. None better. 
XANTHOCERAS sorbifolia. A rare Chinese 
shrub, which blooms in upright clusters of 
hell-shaped flowers, pure white with red¬ 
dish streaks about the base of the petals.

WEIGELIA ROSEA 
DIEKNILLA FLORIDA 
Viburnums (continued) 
V. tomentosum. A desirable shrub of good 
compact form, with good foliage which 
colors up with fine effect in autumn. An 
excellent shrub for quick effect in large 
plantations. 
V. t. plicatum (Japanese Snowball). One of 
the choicest and most popular shrubs, with 
much to rec6mmcnd it and no objection¬ 
able features. The foliage is abundant and 
fine in summer and autumn, and its balls 
of pure white sterile flowers are borne in 
great profusion. Admirable as single spe¬ 
cimens in limited areas, or in masses in 
the finest plantings.
