WEIGELIA ROSEA 
CREPE MYRTLE 
The showiest of all summer-flowering shrubs, Crepe 
Myrtle makes a large specimen shrub or a small tree. One 
need never bother about care for these plants once they are 
established. The flowers are very delicate and possess a 
crepe-like texture in the five graceful petals. Flowers are 
grouped in large clusters at the ends of the branches, 
thereby giving a great show. Full sun, blooms during the 
heat of summer. Makes a fine lawn specimen or an 
efficient and pleasingly colorful screen plant where large 
areas of undesirable view need to be excluded from your 
garden.

Rosedale’s Spring Flowering Shrubs 
i mer homes 
These plants are usually avoided in home gardens, and planted around our mountain sum 
but their special merit lies in several definitely admirable characteristics. — First of, av vey grow rs 
definite height and then spread out. It is an easy matter to keep them In ae S y Up a tes 
ondly, their show of flowers is often breath-taking, as in Crepe Myrtle, or delicate Y ovely = 4 j 
delphus and Weigela. That these plants lose their leaves In winter is an advantage often his 00 a 
It allows greater contrast in plantings, freedom of air circulation during the rainy season, neiping tO 
keep the foundation of the house dry. 
Weigela 
Weigela Eva Rathke. This is more at home in the south 
than most of us realize and is, therefore, an ideal shrub for 
general planting. This six-foot shrub has bright red 
honeysuckle-like flowers, much larger and showier than 
the best Abelia. Sun. Gal. 75¢, 5-gal. $3.30. 
Weigela rosea. Much like the above, but a lovely shade 
of pink. Gal. 70c, 5-gal. $2.85. 
Flowering Quince 
This thickly branched shrub almost bursts into flame each spring 
when it becomes covered as if by magic with its gayly colored single 
rose-like flowers. The glossy dark green leaves that follow have the 
same quality as many of the better evergreen shrubs. 
Salmon Pink. A lovely shade of salmon rose. Gal. 70¢, 5-gal. $2.85. 
Scarlet. Very showy orange-vermilion. Gal. 75¢, 5-gal. $3.50. 
Double Flowering Pomegranate 
Punica Chico. This is so different from the common dwarf flower- 
ing Pomegranates that it is difficult to make any comparison. Ane 
flowers are like fully double bright red carnations—the same size 
and freely produced during hot summer. A dwarf shrub 1 to 2 fect 
high, will offer many possibilities in foundation plantings and in 
the garden. Gal. 75c, 5-gal. $2.85. 
Mock Orange 
Philadelphus. ‘’Syringa’’, of old fashioned gardens. The older types 
have been cherished by Americans for many generations, but on:y 
fairly recently have these modern improvements been introduced. 
Belle Etoile. 6 to 8 feet. Lovely pure white single flowers, each 
with a pale lavender center making a charming combination in 
bouquets—which brings up the finest quality of this shrub—cut- 
flowers, fragrant, and lasting several days, it makes one of the 
finest shrubs for the purpose. Gal. 75c¢, 5-gal. $2.85. 
Virginal. Somewhat older and still the best double. Pure white 
and extremely free flowering. Grows the same height and both are 
just the plants for enclosing intimate gardens. Gal. 90c, 5-gal.

Lilacs 
Syringa persica laciniata, Cut Leaf Persian Lilac. We all like lilacs 
even if they won’t bloom in southern California, but there we are 
wrong because the cut leaf form of Persian Lilac will bloom each 
year. Flowers are the same lilac color as those hybrids that won’t 
bloom, and the foliage is delicately cut and a good light green. 
6 to 8 feet. Gal. 75c, 5-gal. $3.85. 
Spiraea 
Spiraea reevesiana, Double Bridal Wreath. Little pearly white fully 
double flowers covering the graceful arching branches, and the 
medium size dark glossy green leaves make this Spiraea one of the 
best. Withstands severe cold and heat well. Sun. 8 feet, but if 
flowers are cut for bouquets, it may be kept much smaller. Gal. 
70c, 5-gal. $2.85.
