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

 Arboretum writes of this new plant as follows: — ■ 



"This charming new plant is of hybrid origin, the re.sult of cross- 

 ing the well-known Buddkia Daridii magnifica 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 

 cylindrical tail from 6 to 20 inches in length, which is conijjosed of hun- 

 dreds 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 s])ray delightfully scents a 

 whole room. It would appear to me that there is a bright future for this 

 plant, not only for decorative pot purposes, but also as a cut flower. 



"Messrs. Farquhar are to be congratulated on the production of 

 such a valuable novelty."
