WEIGELIA BRISTOL RUBY—Patent No. 
492 2 to 8 ft. plants. $1.25 each 3 for $3.25 
A better “Eve 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-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 requiring very. little prun- 
ing because it flowers well from old wood; no die-back or 
uneven growth at any time. Excellent reports from Ver- 
mont and other difficult regions fully sub:tantiate our own 
estimate of its unusual hardiness. Bristol Ruby is definitely 
superior to Eva Rathke in every respect.

Daphne “Somerset. patent No. 315

nated in England a number of years ago. It received high- 
est honors from the R. H. S. of Great Britain when it was

are as deliciously fragrant as Daphne Cneorum, They occur 
in quantities during May and June along the upper 8 to 10 
inches of each branch, the flowering time lasting a month 
or more. The foliage is rich, dark green, giving the effect 
of boxwood. It remains on the plant well into the winter.

evergreen where winter weather is not too severe. Our ex- 
perience is that dormant young stock may be shipped and 
transplanted bare root. 15 to 18 inch blooming size plants.

NEW EARLY FLOWERING HARDY TRITOMA 
Springtime. (Plant Patent No. 318) 
Each 602; 3 for $1.75; 6 for $3.00 
A fascinating new hardy Tritoma which flowers in 
late June and July. The upper part of the flower is 
rich coral-red, the lower half ivory-yellow. These 
sparkling and ¢lear contrasting colors hold one’s at- 
tention in a pleasing manner. Springtime has been 
tested for hardiness for five winters in all kinds of 
soil, and has weathered these conditions without any 
protection. We heartily recommend this novelty. It 
combines beautifully in the garden with pale blue 
Delphiniums or pure white Regale Lilies in flower at 
the same time. A well established plant will produce 
as many as 10 to 15 flower spikes about three feet 
tall, They are very graceful and superb for cutting.
