BEAUTY BUSH 
An exceedingly handsome orna- 
mental shrub which was introduced 
into the United States from the wil- 
derness of China and Central Asia. 
The foliage and habit of growth of 
Salzer’s Beauty Bush when not in 
flower, is very attractive, making it 
desirable the year round.

7 feet high when mature, erect and 
symmetrical, producing long arch- 
ing branches which in spring are 
simply covered with clusters of 
small, tubular pink flowers of the 
honeysuckle type, borne in such pro- 
fusion that the bush is one cloud of 
delicate pink. Its amazing florifer- 
ous qualities make it highly desir- 
able. Beauty Bush has all the at- 
tributes of a becutiful shrub: Har- 
diness, year-round beauty in foliage 
and habit, and a remarkable show 
of flowers in its blooming period.
