Cudinal Slut THE SHRUB OF THE CENTURY 
$150 CARDINAL SHRUB (Weigela Vanicek). Since we first 
called your attention to this unique new shrub in the spring of 
1947, we have grown and sold nearly one million plants. It is 
rapidly becoming the most widely planted new hardy shrub in 
America. The reason is simply that it is truly All-American, 
thriving in the Hast, the West, the North (except coldest 
states), the South. Blooms spring, summer and fall. Plants 
set out this spring WILL BLOOM THIS SEASON. 
We wish that you could see them blooming here. In May- 
June each one is simply covered from top to bottom with 
hundreds and hundreds of the lovely rosy-red flowers. 
They are trumpet-shaped, 1 to 114 inches across. 
After this first big display, there are some scattering 
blooms throughout the season. If you cut off 
sprays of flowers and use them for bouquets, the 
plant will flower even more freely than if you left 
them on, 
At Hamburg, the Cardinal Shrub has with- 
stood 15 below zero without injury. It is so 
easy to grow, not particular as to soil. 
Thrives in full sun or part shade. Makes 
a shapely bush 6 feet or so tall with 
excellent foliage. It is the best 
hardy new shrub which we have 
ever tested. Also makes a fine un- 
trimmed hedge. Just one in a 
neighborhood will make those 
who see it, want it. Look over your yard, whether large or 
small. You will find a spot where it will fit in. We ship them 
to you POSTPAID, trimmed ready for planting.
