WEHIGELA 
Bristol Ruby. Our newest Weigela. Hardier and more 
vigorous, it makes a shapely, thrifty plant with at- 
tractive rich green foliage. Color is a soft ruby-red 
shading to garnet-crimson; extremely pleasing in 
effect and without harsh tone. Attaining a height of 
6-7 ft. at maturity, it makes a perfectly formed, well 
rounded specimen requiring very little pruning be- 
cause it flowers well from old wood; no die-back or 
uneven growth at any time. We believe this is the 
best red weigela grown. Flowers throughout sum- 
mer and fall. 3-4 ft. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.75.
