A NEW WEIGELA - 
(PLANT PATENT APPLIED FOR) 
“BRISTOL RUBY” 
A better “Eva Rathke” has long been needed— 
“Bristol Ruby” is just that. Hardier and more vigor- 
ous, 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 a harsh tone. 
Attaining a height of 6 to 7 feet at maturity, it makes 
a perfectly formed well-rounded specimen requiring 
very little pruning because it flowers well from old 
wood; no die-back or uneven growth at any time. The 
original plant is blooming in its twelfth year with 
never a miss or off! season. Best indication of its 
added hardiness is the fact that almost all of our stock 
has been developed from 214” pots lined out in Sep- 
tember here in cold Connecticut, and with no loss from 
winter killing. We doubt if this would be possible 
with any other Weigela. Excellent reports from Ver- 
mont 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. Ask us to reserve a 
supply for you. It will sell.
