ASTILBE, FANAL 
$1 Astilbe Fanal is a plant that really should be listed with the perennials but 
most people plant it in the shrub border. It can be planted either with the 
‘shrubs or perennials. It is hardy but the top dies down over winter like a 
perennial and in the spring new growth comes from the roots. It likes good 
soil with ample moisture and partial shade. Does well on the north side. We assure 
you that it is far more beautiful than pictured. The foliage itself is attractive. The flow- 
ers are simply exquisite, a lively rich crimson on spikes a foot or so tall. Blooms in May 
and June. Makes a wonderful border plant. Can be potted in the fall for winter bloom 
indoors, although it is hardy outdoors.

$8 Beauty Bush (Kolkwitzia)—This is another very fine, long-lived shrub. In the spring, 
the graceful arching branches are completely covered with lovely pink blossoms. The 
bush is very shapely and attractive. Hardy, it grows 6 to 8 feet tall and grows even in 
rather poor soil. Rather slow to come into blooming, but after 3 years it will be a beauty 
spot in your garden. Use it in group plantings, as a specimen and for an untrimmed flow- 
ering hedge or screen, it is superb.
