Buddleia 
BUTTERFLY BUSH or SUMMER LILAC 
This is perhaps the most popular of our garden and 
hardy border shrubs, being almost continually in flower 
from July until frost. The hush grows- to a height of 
about four feet and produces an abundance of flower 
spikes which are made up of myriads of miniature florets 
of a beautiful lilac shade. The flowers are very fragrant 
and attract butterflies in great numbers from which fact 
the shrub has gained its name. 
Alternifolia (New) 
This is the hardiest “Butterfly Bush" yet introduced. 
Only once in a lifetime do we find a new shrub of so 
outstanding merit as this. While other Buddleias freeze 
down to the ground every winter, and during the summer 
grow to a height of five or six feet, being too large for 
a perennial border and not suitable for among shrubs, 
this wonderful new Buddleia DOES NOT FREEZE 
DOWN in winter, but is just like other shrubs, filling 
a long-wanted place for Buddleias. It is a very distinct 
and charming sight while in bloom, with its long arching 
or pendulous branches covered with clusters of lilac- 
purple flowers from early to mid-summer. $1.20 per 12; 
$8.00 per 100; $75.00 per 1000. 
Farquhari 
A low-growing pendulous, spreading shrub, with rich 
green foliage and silver reverse, bearing in late sum¬ 
mer, long racemes of purple flowers 75c per 12; $5.00 
per 100; $45.00 per 1000. 
lie De France (New) 
For brilliance of color, grace of its flower spikes, and 
uniform habit of growth, this new Buddleia greatly sur¬ 
passes all other varieties in cultivation. The plants de¬ 
velop into well-branched, symmetrical bushes 3 to 4 feet 
high. The individual flower spikes measure 6 to 9 inches 
in length. They are brilliant rosy purple with a violet 
suffusion. Their fragrance adds another feature to their 
beauty. We offer strong thrifty plants that will pro¬ 
duce an abundance of flowers this summer. $1.20 per 12; 
$8.00 per 100; $76.00 per 1000. 
Variabilis Magnifica

and new growth starts from the root like other peren¬ 
nials. Plants grow three to four feet and are covered with 
long racemes of lilac-like flowers all summer. 76c per 
12; $5.00 per 100; $46.00 per 1000.
