Ornamental Trees, Flowering Shrubs, Etc. 29 DIERVILLA, continued variety, with bright red flowers borne freely during early summer. It is very distinct and decidedly the best of its color. Rather slen- der in growth, with villous foliage. D. florida (Syn., Weigela rosea). Rose-Colored Weigela. This highly meritorious shrub was the first of the Weigela group to be in- troduced into this country, and it remains as valuable a species for lawn and garden deco- ration as we possess. Its handsome rose-col- ored flowers are produced with remarkable freedom. Entirely hardy and of compact growth. var. "Abel ; One of the best of the newer forms of this popular genus, producing bright rose-colored flowers in great profusion during the month of June. It is a robust grower, with ample foliage, var. nana variegata. Variegated Weigela. This is perhaps second to no other hard- wooded plant with variously colored leaves. It stands the sun well, and retains its well- marked tints until autumn. The flowers are lighter in color than D. florida's, but it is equally as free in bloom. The growth, however, is not so robust as the latter, and requires less trimming to preserve its compact form. D. grandiflora Candida (Syn., Weigela Candida). White-Flowering Weigela. This is a dis- tinct and valuable plant, much superior to most of the white Weigelas. It is a tall, vigorous shrub, producing in June and occa- sionally through the summer, a profusion of white or very pale flesh-colored Diervilla. DIMORPHANTHUS A genus of shrubs and herbaceous plants from China and Japan. It is closely related to Aralia, and is equally useful for ornamental purposes, es- pecially to produce a subtropical effect. D. Mandshuricus
