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

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, shading to 
garnet-crimson. They are produced in immense 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 uneven 
growth at any time. Excellent reports from Canada and Vermont and other 
difficult regions fully substantiate our own estimate of its unusual hardi- 
ness. 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.
