One of our neighbors, in- 
terested in birds, made a 
few little rustic houses for 
the boys at the Nursery. 
They attracted the atten- 
tion of some of our custo- 
mers, and we have arranged 
to offer them to our bird- 
loving friends. The houses 
are constructed of cypiess 
boards with cedar bark. 
Style 1. — Swinging house 
(see illustration;. Hang in 
nearby tree or pergola and 
it will be sure to invite a 
pair of bluebirds or wrens. 
Price, $2. 
Style 2. — Has a round 
bottom, also a bracket to 
fasten to a tree or pole, or 
can be nailed against the 
side of a porch or house. 
For bluebirds or wrens. 
Price, $1.50. 
Style 3. — Has a flat bot- 
tom, also a bracket to fasten 
by; it is a suitable house to 
be placed under the eaves 
of a house, porch or piazza. 
For wrens, bluebirds or 
chickadees. Price, $2. 
Style 4. — Woodpecker 
house. Made of rustic cedar. 
Should be placed in or near 
an orchard, in a suitable 
tree, at least 15 feet high. 
Price, $2. 
Style 5. — Martin house 
with 6 rooms. It should be 
placed on the top of an iron 
pipe or pole 10 to 20 feet 
high. Price, $5. 
Style 6. — Martin house 
with 10 rooms, as described 
above. Price, $8. 
The Butterfly Plant 
Buddleia variabilis magnified 
Lavender is a color much to be desired in 
garden planting on account of its scarcity, 
and of all flowers there is none 
more charming than this form 
of Buddleia, or as it is com- 
monly known, the Butterfly 
Plant, so called by reason of 
the hosts of butterflies it at- 
tracts to the garden while in 
bloom, and it blooms con- 
tinuously from June until frost. 
Thus it plays two important 
parts in the garden. 
The Buddleia is a perfectly 
hardy shrubby perennial, with 
long spikes of very sweet-scented 
lavender flowers. It grows to 
a good height, of very graceful 
habit, and is clothed with hand- 
some foliage. It is equally good 
as a specimen out on the lawn, 
massed in the border with other 
plants, or planted in the back- 
ground for lower-growing per- 
ennials. Our stock of this plant 
is particularly thrifty, and will 
bloom some this year and pro- 
fusely next June. A bouquet of 
these flowers is as beautiful as a 
bunch of lilacs. Price, 25 and 50 
cts. each; $2 and S4 for 10.
