Buddleia — Butterfly Shrub, 

 Summer Lilac 



New Pink Buddleia 

 Charming 



Probably the most outstanding new plant offered 

 this season, having created a sensation when first 

 exhibited by us. It was given tlie highest award, 

 a Silver Medal, by the Pennsylvania Horticultural 

 Society. Truly a glorious shrub bearing throughout 

 the late summer and autumn elegant long sprays 

 covered with lovely lavender-pink blooms which com- 

 pared with otlier Buddleias introduced up to date 

 are distinctly pink. For September and October 

 flowers we suggest pinching off the fiower spikes in 

 July, which will result in vigorous new growth 

 bearing showy terminal flower trusses during the 

 autumn months. 



Judging from the tremendous interest shown in 

 this new Buddleia we feel confident that it merits 

 the highest recommendations and we suggest to you 

 a good size planting in order to derive your sliare 

 of the profits to be had from this plant during the 

 coming season. 3-inch pots, ready early in April, 

 $4.00 per doz.; $30.00 per 100. 



Lining out stock, ready April 15, $18.00 per 100; 

 $150.00 per 1000. 



He de France 



This fine Buddleia, a French introduction, has 

 quickly replaced the older varieties of this shrub which 

 have been popular for so many years, because it is 

 superior, not only in its brilliant coloring but the 

 flower spikes are longer and more graceful. The 

 plants also are of a better, more uniform shape. 



The plant attains a height of from 3 to 4 feet, form- 

 ing a symmetrical, bushy shrub. Every branch is termi- 

 nated by a graceful, cylindrical spike 6 to 9 inches long. 

 The fragrant fiowers are brilliant rosy violet-purple. 

 In bloom from the latter part of July to late in Sep- 

 tember. 



3-inch pots, $2.50 per doz.; $15.00 per 100.
