DECIDUOUS SHRUBS 73 
WEIGELA 
A widely used family of small shrubs bearing bell or trumpet-shaped 
flowers 1 to inches long. Very beautiful but somewhat tender. In our 
acid soils the use of lime seems to partially overcome this tenderness. 
Spring planting is best for Weigelas.

More Garden Color 
You can have more color in your garden and landscape plantings by 
the careful selection of shrubs. You can have color over a greater portion 
of the year in a greater variety of forms. 
When thinking of garden color we are prone to think primarily of 
flowers. These are of course the main source of color, but too often the 
flowering periods are of moderate duration. 
To supplement the color of flowers, to prolong the color season well 
beyond the flowering season, shrubs are most helpful. Many sorts have 
highly colored autumn foliage — also colorful berries. Many trees also 
help in this manner. 
And speaking of berries, many varieties attract birds to our gardens, 
thus increasing not only the visual color of their plumage but also the 
audible color of their songs.
