New (Weigela, Bristol Ruby 
(Plant Patent No. 492) 
Spring and All Summer Flowering 
The color of the flowers is a pleasing sparkling ruby-red, shading to garnet-crimson. They are produced in im- 
mense quantities and create a wonderful display of colors. After the big spring display is past there is again a fine 
showing of bloom throughout the summer and entire autumn. Few shrubs produce flowers as freely and over so 
long a period as does Bristol Ruby Weigela. It attains a height of 6 to 7 feet at maturity, and grows into a perfectly 
formed, well-rounded specimen requiring very little pruning because it flowers well from old wood; no die-back or un- 
even growth at any time. Plant illustrated, photographed in June, 1941, is the original; blooming in its fourteenth 
year with never a miss or off season. We doubt if this would be possible with any other Weigela. Excellent reports from 
Canada and Vermont and other difficult regions fully substantiate our own estimate of its unusual hardiness. Bristol 
Ruby is definitely superior to any other red Weigela in every respect and visitors here at the nursery are quick to note 
its better qualities.
