New Neigela : Bristol Ruby 
(Plant Patent No. 492) 
A better ‘Eva Rathke” has long been needed—Bristol Ruby is just that. Hardier and more 
vigorous, it makes a shapely thrifty plant with attractive rich green foliage. Color is a soft ruby- 
red shading to garnet-crimson, extremely pleasing in effect and without harsh tone. Attaining 
a height of 6 to 7 feet at maturity, it makes a perfectly formed, well-rounded specimen requir- 
ing very little pruning because it flowers well from old wood; no die-back or uneven growth at 
any time. Plant illustrated, photographed in June, 1941, is the original; blooming in its twelfth 
year with never a miss or off season. We doubt if this would be possible with any other Weigela. 
Excellent reports from Vermont and other difficult regions fully substantiate our own estimate of 
its unusual hardiness. Bristol Ruby is definitely superior to Eva Rathke in every respect and visitors 
here at the nursery are quick to note its better qualities. Ultimate height about 5 to 6 feet.
