Weigela Vaniceki 
$150 This is a new shrub which we have tested for five years. It is the only 
Weigela we have found entirely hardy, withstanding 20 degrees below zero 
without the slightest injury. We consider it the finest new hardy shrub we have 
ever tested. It makes an attractive, shapely, rounded bush 5 to 6 feet tall and 
almost as wide with excellent foliage right to the ground line. In May-June it is 
completely covered with the beautiful rosy-red flowers. After this big display, 
the plant makes new growth and in a few weeks commences to bloom again 
and produces some blooms right up to frost. Tested side by side with other 
Weigelas it has proven to be much hardier, blooming far more freely. 
Planted this spring, Vaniceki will bloom for you this summer and fall. We con- 
sider it an amazing new shrub and believe that it will do well in ordinary 
soil, East, West, North and South. It is very easy to grow and has never been 
bothered by any insects or diseases. We have only a limited supply for this 
spring. Postpaid.

BLUE HYDRANGEA 
$55 This variety is the hardiest we know. It blooms from 
new wood as well as old. The flower heads are large and 
last for weeks. In acid soil, the blooms are blue as pictured 
at the left. In ordinary soil, the flowers are pink. If you 
want blue flowers then you can make your soil acid by 
mixing quite a little Peat with it. See page 36 for Peat. 
In northern states give it some winter protection just like 
roses. The plant grows 2 to 3 feet tall and just as’ wide. 
It prefers partial shade and will grow in full shade. 
Whether blue or pink the flowers are wonderful. 
Each $1.50, Postpaid 
$3 This is a selected strain with larger flowers 
of brilliant colors, vivid orange, flame, salmon 
and gold that completely cover the bush in 
May and June. Grows 3 to 4 feet tall and 
just as wide. Thrives in sun or partial shade 
and will stand 10 below zero without injury. 
A mulch of Peat Moss or leaves is beneficial. 
In shrub borders, in foundation plantings, it 
adds a touch of color no other shrub can give.
