...THE BOOK OF 
Bridal Bouquet: 
Buddleia 
(Buddleia A Itemifolia) 
(See picture on page 31). 
Hardy Tops—Hardy Roots 
Now again we have found an amazing 
treasure for lovers of beauty. For years you 
have admired the lovely beauty of the Buddleia 
or Butterfly Bush, but have found it unsuitable 
for most landscape work because only the roots 
were hardy. Bridal Bouquet Buddleia has both 
hardy tops and hardy roots—can be used wher- 
ever any other shrub of the same size can be 
used—foundation plantings, group plantings or 
alone. The tops of Bridal Bouquet Buddleia do 
not die down during the winter but remain as a 
foundation for new growth the same as with 
other shrubs. 
Three Point Beauty 
Beautiful foliage, beautiful flowers, beautiful 
form! Many shrubs have beautiful flowers but 
foliage that cries to be hidden—many have 
R O G R 
beautiful foliage but flowers of little value— 
and with still others the beauty of flowers and 
leaves is marred by unsightly shape. Bridal 
Bouquet Buddleia scores high on all three 
points. Leaves are well formed and appear ah 
ternately on stems as shown in picture at right. 
Stems slender, graceful and drooping; beautiful 
lavender flowers appear in profuse clusters all 
along the stems. 
Spirea Lovers, Attention 
In form. Bridal Bouquet Buddleia is like a 
glorified and transfigured Spirea. One expert 
even advised us to describe it as a lilac colored 
Spirea, for at a distance it appears as a beauth 
ful Spirea which miraculously has changed the 
color of its blossoms to beautiful lavender. It 
blooms about two to three weeks later than 
Spirea Van Houttei, about the same height (5 
to 6 feet), and is a good companion plant. You 
can have all the beauty that goes with Spirea 
and yet be distinctive and unusual by planting 
Bridal Bouquet Buddleia.

. . . THE BOOK OF 
New! Purple 
Buddleia 
lie de 
France 
(Picture on page 31). 
The glorious thing about 
this new Buddleia is the im- 
mense size and rich color of 
its flower spikes. These are 
not weak lavender but rich, 
rich purple and they are tre- 
mendous in size—get to be 
1 foot or more in length and 
the bush is literally covered 
with them. The bush gets to 
be 3 to 4 feet high and 3 
to 4 feet wide. The flowers 
are very fragrant and attract 
bevies of beautiful butterflies. 
It is a vigorous grower and 
very easy to establish. Blooms 
| from August to October or 
later. It will be a distinct 
matter of pride to you when 
you can display it, and we 
urge you to include at least 
one in your order.
