hardy shrub, particularly desirable for the dooryard and lawn;

large flat clusters of rich rosy red flowers almost as soon as 
planted, and continues blooming through the summer and fall.

Wreath). Flowers white 
and double like little roses, 
borne in great profusion.

Mastacanthus , or Verbena

and continues loaded with 
lovely sky-blue flowers until 
frost. Foliage has a peculiar, 
spicy fragrance. Not hardy 
north of Pennsylvania. 
Free-Flowering Weigelas 
These most attractive shrubs make beautiful specimen plants and 
produce great masses of showy flowers. 
Eva Rathke. Red. Considered the handsomest of all. The flowers 
are crimson, with creamy markings, and are borne in gre*at quantities, 
this variety blooms all summer and is, without question, the choicest 
shrub in this class. It is low-growing and spreading in habit, there¬ 
fore it should be planted alone or in clumps or else on the outside of 
shrubbery borders, where it will prove a constant source of pleasure. 
Candida (White Weigela). Snow-white flowers in great profusion. 
Variegated-leaved. Deep green leaves, bordered creamy white; very 
attractive; flowers blush-pink. 
Rosea. Beautiful rose-pink flowers borne in great profusion.
