New Butterfly Bush 
ILE DE FRANCE 
N otwithstanding the fact that the color of 
the older Buddleias or Butterfly Bushes was some¬ 
what vague and washed out, giving the shrubs a 
rather indefinite effect in the border, nevertheless, these 
plants have been for years the most popular shrubs in 
cultivation. However, the weak color was a standing challenge to plant 
breeders. Sooner or later some hybridist would meet the issue and pro- 
duce a first-class Butterfly Bush. 
This has now been accomplished and lie de France is the answer. Its color is real and substantial, a brilliant rosy 
purple with a violet suffusion that actually stands out and is visible in the landscape. In addition, the flowers are 
fragrant, which is also new among the Butterfly Bushes. The individual flower spikes are very large, measuring 10 
inches in length. The shrubs develop into well-branched symmetrical bushes, 3}/2 to 4 feet tall. A truly great creation.

astray. 
Guarantee. We guarantee all nursery stock furnished 
by us to be first class and true-to-name. We do not guar¬ 
antee it to grow, or stand good for the result in any way. 
COMPLAINTS MUST BE MADE IMMEDIATELY 
UPON RECEIPT OF STOCK. There are so many causes 
for failure over which we have no control, that we can 
assume no responsibility after the stock is delivered in 
good order. Poor soil, changeable weather, ignorant or 
careless culture—all contribute to failure. A catalog as 
comprehensive as this must of necessity offer some va¬ 
rieties of difficult culture; when these are ordered we 
presume the people ordering have the knowledge, enthusi¬ 
asm and perseverance, and these we cannot supply.
