Everblooming Butterfly Bush its 
( Buddleya Variabilis Magnif ica) StS and tree 
flowering habit. The name Butterfly Bush was applied to it because it

handsome bush about 4 feet high. 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 ten inches long. A single plant the first season 
will throw out as many as fifty floAver spikes, which increase greatly 
in number during succeeding years. The year after planting, it gener- 
ally commences to flower in June and continuing each season until se- 
A’ere frosts nip it. The foliage and blooms are exceedingly fine. The 
shrub will die doAvn to the ground if frozen, and while perfectly hardy, 
Ave recommend covering the roots with manure, leaves or other suit- 
able materials as winter approaches, so it Avill 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. Fine plants, 35 cents each; 3 for 85c; postpaid.
