Buddleva VariahillQ matter of some thought beforethis high- 
»UUUICjra VctrialJllls iTlaglllTIva ly desirable plant was finally christened with 
the common English name by which it goes. Several years ago there were imported from Europe 
some plant novelties and this was among them. We observed it carefully and were charmed with 
its beauty, ease of culture and free flowering habit. The name Butterfly Bush was applied to it be¬ 
cause it seems to attract butterflies in large numbers. This shrub from a young plant set out either 
ic if "'**1 mature to full size the first summer, producing a handsome bush, which the first year often maintains a height 
ot four feet It produces long, graceful stems, which terminate in tapering panicles of beautiful lilac-colored flowers that are of mlnia- 
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 flower spikes, which increase greatly in number during succeeding years. The year after planting it generally com- 
^o^yer in June and continuing each season until severe frosts nip it. The foliage and blooms are exceedingly fine The shrub 
will die down to the ground if frozen, and while perfectly hardy, we recommend covering the roots with manure, leaves or other suitable 
materials as winter approaches, so it 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. Fine plants, 25 cents each; 6 for $1.25- postpaid
