The Everblooming Butterfly Bush 
It was a matter of some thought before this highly desirable plant was finally christened with the com- 
mon English name by which it goes. Several years ago there was imported from Europe some plant novelties 
and this one was among them. We observed it carefully for a season and were charmed with its beauty, ease 
of culture and free flowering habit. The name BUTTERFLY BUSH was applied to it because it seems to 
attract butterflies in large numbers. Particularly we notice that it is not alone the common little yellow 
species of butterfly, but also the large and gorgeously colored butterflies that swarm about it as though vieing 
with it in brilliancy of color. This shrub from a young plant set out either in the Spring or Fall, will mature 
to full size the first Summer, producing a handsome bush, which the first year often maintains a height of 
four feet. It produces long, graceful stems, which terminate in tapering panicles of beautiful lilac-colored 
flowers that are of miniature size and borne by the hundreds on a flower head which is frequently 10 inches 
long. A single plant the first season will throw out as many as 50 flower spikes, which increase greatly in 
number during succeeding years. The year after planting, it generally commences to flower in June and con- 
tinuing each season until severe frosts nip it. The foliage and blooms are exceedingly fine. The shrub is 
rather semi-herbaceous, by which we mean in some latitudes it will die down to the ground and while per- 
fectly hardy, we recommend covering the roots with manure, leaves or other suitable material as winter 
approaches, as this will produce a heavy growth the following season. This shrub is very desirable as an 
individual specimen in the lawn and garden, or placed promiscuously in the shrubbery border.
