A graceful shrub with attractive spikes of lovely lavender-blue flowers. 
Blooms profusely from July until fall and grows more than ten feet high 
unless pruned back. It is a most desirable summer-flowering shrub of 
distinctive appearance. Fits in well in the border and is also suitable 
as a lawn plant. Its form, foliage and lilac flowers are very unusual. 
In early spring this plant often appears dead upon first examination.

not start into growth until the weather has become quite warm. ON )7 ' [

Spirea Mongolica The Weigelas are an interesting and useful family of shrubs, flowering in 
r : 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 1s 
about 5 to 6 feet.

SPRING AND AUTUMN FLOWERING 
The color of the flowers is a pleasing sparkling ruby- shading to 
garnet-crimson. They are produced in ay ale ng by ee 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 Weiaela in every 
respect and visitors here at the nursery are quick to note its better qualities.
