New Pink Buddleia — Charming 



Probably the most outstanding new plant of- 

 fered this past season. It was awarded a Silver 

 Medal by the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society. 

 A glorious shrub bearing throughout the late 

 summer and autumn elegant long sprays covered 

 with lovely lavender-pink blooms, which com- 

 pared with other Buddleias introduced up to date, 

 are distinctly pink. For September and October 

 flowers we suggest pinching off the first flower 

 spikes in July to aid in development of the side 

 branches which will bring a greater abundance 

 of flowers during the autumn. 3-inch pots $4.00 

 per doz.; $30.00 per 100. Or 2-year-old field-grown 

 plants, 18 to 24 inches tall, at the same price. 



Lining out stock, 2-inch pots, ready April 1st, 

 518.00 per 100; $150.00 per 1000. 



Buddleia Dubonnet 



DUBONNET BTJTTEB.PI.Y BUSK 

 Again this season we are fortunate in being 

 able to offer our customers an entirely new color 

 in Buddleia. The color is an exact counterpart 

 of the popular French wine Dubonnet, a shade 

 which has recently been popularized in dress 

 fabrics. In sunshine and under the lamp it glows 

 almost a true red. The firm cylindrical spikes 

 are snugly set with individual flowers of good 

 size that do not sunburn. The plant is of robust 

 erect growth with strong stems. The leaves are 

 large and of firm leathery texture. A good late 

 summer cutflower harmonizing well with other 

 outdoor blooms. 



3-inch pots, ready April 1st, $8.00 per doz.; 

 $65.00 per 100. 



2-inch pots, ready April 1st, $6.50 per doz.; 

 $50.00 per 100. 



Buddleia — 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 flowers 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. 



Cotoneaster 



Horizontals. A low-growing shrub with almost hori- 

 zontal branches. Small shiny green leaves and 

 orange-red berries produced in great quantity and re- 

 maining on the plants well into the winter. One of 

 the most effective evergreen plants for rockery. And 

 excellent arranged in clumps in front of the shrub- 

 bery border or mixed with the dwarfer broad-leaved 

 evergreens. 5-inch pots 60c each.
