BUDDLEIA hybrida, Eva Dudley. Mr. E 3. Wilson of the 

 Arnold 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 magnifica and B. asia- 

 tica. A free-growing and extremely floriferous plant, it com- 

 bines the good qualities of both its parents. Every shoot and 

 lateral branch terminates in a cylindrical 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 

 for the delightful fragrance of its flowers. A single spray de- 

 lightfully scents a whole room."
