BUDDLEIA 
HARTWEGI 
A 1937 INTRODUCTION 
Buddleia Hartwegi is undoubtedly 
the finest of all summer flowering 
Butterfly Bushes. As a summer cut 
flower plant and as an ornamental 
lawn shrub it is unsurpassed in 
beauty and usefulness. The large 
bright lavender panicles have re¬ 
markable substance and harmonize in 
arrangement with other summer flow¬ 
ers. The flowers do not “sunburn” 
as do the other varieties, and the 
tip flowers on the panicle open be¬ 
fore the basal flowers have faded. The 
individual flowers are closely spaced 
on the panicles, imparting a compact 
and pleasing appearance. The foliage 
is very heavy and is rich dark green. 
Buddleia Hartwegi is hardier than 
any of the summer flowering Butter¬ 
fly Bushes, having lived through the 
severe winter of 1935-36 without 
protection and with only slight loss. 
60c each; 3 for $1.50, postpaid.
