ABELIA . The Flowering Abelia 
Its small foliage, sparkling and glossy, is almost evergreen. In June the bloom begins, 
and continues till the Autumn. When the last tiny trumpet has fallen there remain the 
little panicles of tinted bracts which held them, very lovely against the dark bronzy green 
leafage.
