70B32 Buddleia, Variabilis Magnifica 



(Everblooming Butterfly Bush or Summer Lilac) 



The above names are applied to this plant because the flowers resemble those of 

 the Lilac and attract butterflies in large numbers, particularly the large and gor- 

 geously colored ones which swarm about it as though vying with it in brilliancy of 

 color. The long, graceful stems terminate in tapering panicles of beautiful lilac- 

 colored flowers that are of miniature size and borne by the hundreds on a flower 

 head which is frequently 12 to 15 inches long. Begins to bloom in July and continues 

 till severe frost. Succeeds everywhere; flowers freely the first year. Really a shrub, 

 but the top usually freezes back and new growth starts from the root like other 

 perennials. If tops do not freeze back, the plant should be severely pruned each 

 spring before growth starts. 

 Strong, field-grown roots, 75 cts. each; 3 for $2.00; 6 for $3.75; $7.00 per doz., postpaid
