DIERVILLA (Weigela) 
A most desirable class of free-flowering shrubs. 
In late spring they are simply a mass of trumpet- 
shaped flowers, showing a profusion of bloom 
that is almost unequaled. Colors in the different 
varieties range from nearly white through pink 
to deep red and crimson.

favorite and probably still the most popular. Flow¬ 
ers pink, large and borne in the utmost profusion. 
The following named varieties are all or mainly 
hybrids: 
Abel Carriere. Flowers rosy carmine, chang¬ 
ing to red. yellow in the throat.

Flowers dark crimson.

sized. Deep carmine red. Very fine.

EDGEWORTHIA 
E. gardneri (E. papyrifera). Asia. A very rare 
and beautiful flowering shrub. Of loose, spreading 
growth with few branches, which are rather stout 
and very flexible. Leaves lanceolate, about six 
inches long and an inch wide. The glory of the 
plant lies in the flowers, which are produced before 
leaves have even commenced to appear. They are 
small, crowded into dense globular heads, yellow 
and almost as fragrant as a Daphne, to which this 
plant is closely related. Its appearance during 
flowering period is absolutely unique and extremelv 
at tractive.

mental shrub of spreading habit. Branchlets ruddy 
brown. Leaves silvery, brown dotted beneath.

tragrant, followed by scarlet fruits nearly an inch 
long, on elongated stalks. The fruit is' not only 
edible, but adds greatly to the effect of the plant.
