BUDDLEIA ASIATICA 



A New Winter Cut Flower Plant 



This new Greenhouse Shrub is without a doubt one of the most interesting and attractive 

 flowering plants in existence. It is of exceptional beauty, and wherever exhibited has been greatly 

 admired by every flower-lover. It grows about 3 feet tall, is of free branching habit and produceH, 

 in albundance, long spikes of pure white flowers, with a delicate fragi*ance, resembling lilac. They 

 caa 1t>e forced with little heat, a carnation house temperature being the most suitable, and can be 

 brought into bloom quite readily; used in combination with poinsettias or similar decorations, they 

 are especially effective ; valuable as a large pot plant or for cut flowers. We predict a big sale 

 for "this novelty, and every progressive florist should try at least a few.
