A Native of the Cold, Arid Mountains of 
West Texas 
Extremely hardy. Has withstood a temperature of ten degrees below zero. Is a 
great drouth resister. It flourishes and blooms profusely in the hottest and driest 
weather. It is as near an everblooming plant as we have ever seen. It begins to 
bloom in early spring soon after growth commences. The blossoms literally cover the 
plant for two months or more. Then for a few months it- does not bloom so freely, 
but is perhaps never without some flowers. In the fall it puts on another full crop of 
blossoms that continue till long after the early frosts have set in. It requires a killing 
freeze to check its flowering. 
The color is an indescribable lovely shade of red. It is a dark soft cerise crimson, 
much the color of a well grown American Beauty rose. It has none of the harsh, glaring 
shades of the Salvia splendens. The beautiful color is perhaps the most attractive 
feature of this novelty. 
It is a hard-wooded shrub. Grows three to four feet high and three to four feet 
wide in a compact globe, very full and neat in appearance. It is beautiful when massed 
in a solid bed, and is as useful as the Spirea Van Houttei for bordering shrub beds. It 
is not so tall, but is as compact and graceful as the Spirea, and in addition it is a blaze 
of beautiful red nearly all the season. 
The very important question as to where it will grow has not been fully demon¬ 
strated, though we are fully convinced it will succeed in nearly every state of the union. 
Young plants in Philadelphia, Pa.; Lexington, Mass., North Abington, Mass., and 
Parsons, Kansas, went through last winter in the open ground without protection. We 
have never heard of their being damaged by cold weather anywhere, but we do noj. 
know of their being exposed to anything colder than ten degrees below zero.
