Buddleia hybrida, Eva Dudley. 



BUDDLEIA hybrida, Eva Dudley. Mr. E. H. Wilson of the Ar- 

 nold Arboretum writes of this new plant as follows: — 



"This charming new plant is of hybrid origin, the result of 

 crossing the well-known Buddleia Davidii viagnifica and B. asiatica. 

 A free-growing and extremely floriferous plant, it combines the 

 good qualities of both its parents. Every shoot and lateral branch 

 terminates in a cyhndrical tail from 6 to 20 inches in length, which 

 is composed of hundreds of fragrant flowers. The flowers are of 

 the most delicate lavender-pink with intense orange centre. Apart 

 from its good habit and free-growing and floriferous character, 

 this new plant is remarkable lor the deUghtful fragi-ance of its 

 flowers. A single spray delightfully scents a whole room. It would 

 appear to me that there is a bright future for this plant, not only 

 for decorative pot pm-poses, but also as a cut flower. 



"Messrs. Farquhar are to be congratulated on the production 

 of such a valuable novelty.'-'

BUDDLEIA Farquharii. This new Winter-flowering Lilac was raised 

 in our nurseries and is the first authentic hybrid in the genus. The 

 flowers are pale pink, delightfully fragrant and are borne in long, 

 cylindrical tail-like clusters. It is of easy culture, flowers during 

 December and January and is valuable for conservatory and house 

 decoration and as a cut-flower. Price, 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz.
