(Weigelas _She Shree Best “Varieties 
The Weigelas are an interesting and useful family of shrubs, flowering in May, June and July. The flowers in shape 
may be likened to those of a Foxglove and are borne in immense quantities. They prefer a moist soil and do not like 
shade or roots of large trees encroaching on them. Otherwise their culture is simple. The average ultimate height of 
most varieties is about 5 to 6 feet. 
Bristol Ruby 
(Plant Patent No. 492) 
SPRING AND AUTUMN FLOWERING 
The color of the flowers is a pleasing sparkling ruby-red, shad- 
ing to garnet-crimson. They are produced in immense quantities 
and create a wonderful display of colors. After the big spring dis- 
play 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 be- 
cause it flowers well from old wood; no die-back or uneven growth 
at any time. 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 Wei- 
gela in every respect and visitors here at the nursery are quick to 
note its better qualities.

This is the best pure white Weigela. It grows about 5 to 6 feet 
high. In late spring and early summer it is a beautiful plant to see 
with its thousands of pure white, trumpet-like blooms. It makes a 
fine contrast if planted alongside of Bristol Ruby. We send plants 
about 2 to 3 feet tall. 
Gairy 
Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
A handsome shrub for any garden, big or small. Grows about 
5 feet tall and in spring is completely covered with light pink 
blooms which possess a great depth of color and sparkle like pearls. 
It is early flowering and one of the great French hybridist Lemoine’s 
latest and best. We send plants about 3 to 4 feet tall. 
Vibur uM Car lcephalum 
(Plant Patent No. 776) 
THE FINEST FLOWERING SHRUB IN A DECADE 
This is the famous and splendid Hybrid from V. Carlesi 
and V. Macrocephalum, which originated in England just 
before the war. The originator turned this wonderful shrub 
over to Wayside Gardens for introduction in this country. 
It is absolutely hardy and has gone through several 
winters here in Mentor with temperatures as much as ten 
degees below zero. It is of branching habit and quick 
growth, growing about six to seven feet high and can be 
pruned to any size or shape desired. Does equally well in 
acid soil or those which are alkaline. 
It is a most profusely flowering shrub with large cymose 
clusters of blossoms which may be as much as six inches 
across, rarely ever smaller than four inches, either flattened 
or globular, mostly the latter. The flowers are exceedingly 
fragrant, rivaling its seed parent. 
It is a deciduous shrub and carries a wealth of foliage. 
The leaves are practically identical with those of V. Carlesi 
but in the autumn are brilliantly colored. 
This Hybrid was shown at the Royal Horticultural Show 
in London before the war where it received the highest 
awards and praise. It has taken quite some time to test 
it here in Mentor and we claim without reservation that it 
is one of the finest spring-flowering shrubs we have ever 
seen. Only a limited number of flowering plants are avail- 
able at $10.CO each.

flowered in England some 10 years ago.
