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

 Arboretum writes of this new plant as follows: — 



"This charming new plant is of hybrid origin, the result of cross- 

 ing the well-known Buddleia Davidii magnifica and B. asiatica. A free- 

 groTsnng 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 composed 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 spray deUghtfuUy scents a 

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

 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."
