Brunfelsia 
A Rare New Blue-Flowered Shrub, from South America. 
BRUNFELSIA FLORIBUNDA. A beautiful shrub that will soon come into wide 
use in California, withstanding several degrees of frost. It is of medium growth, with 
elliptic, rich dark green leaves about 3 inches long. The flowers are shaped some¬ 
what like a Vinca but larger, about 1 V 2 inches across, rich violet in color, changing 
with age through lilac to almost pure white. It blooms throughout the year, having 
a tremendous crop of flowers in spring, in great clusters. These flowers are highly 
perfumed, and cut sprays, which last well in water, remind one of giant clusters of 
lilacs, both in color and fragrance. The Brunfelsia makes a free flowering pot plant, 
and may be grown in sunny window boxes and pots, or as a conservatory plant. In 
California it makes a beautiful specimen outdoors, and an exceedingly attractive 
hedge. 4-inch pots 75e; 1-gal. containers $1.00; bushy specimens in 12-inch 
boxes $4.50. 
Bowkeria 
“CALCEOLARIA TREE”

very attractive new shrub growing to a height of 
6-10 ft. Its clusters of white flowers, glistening 
like new wax, are shaped like calceolarias and are 
well set off by a background of deep green fol¬ 
iage. $1.00. 
Buddleia 
Tall, hardy shrubs, bearing long spikes of 
lilac-like blossoms, many of which are frag¬ 
rant. Bushes are rather straggly in growth, 
unless kept well pruned. Chiefly valuable 
against walls, fences, garages, and for their 
pretty blossoms, which are very desirable 
for cut-flowers. 
BUDDLEIA ASIATICA.White, fragrant flowers in 
winter. Branches slightly pendulous, foliage 
grayish green. 
BUDDLEIA MAGNIFICA PRECHTLII. Another 
fine new Buddleia, and one of the very best for 
cutting. The flowers are briliant rosy-lavender en¬ 
livened by a touch of orange at the throat. They 
are produced in very long, beautiful spikes, prob¬ 
ably the largest of any Buddleia. A fine com¬ 
panion to lie de France.

er than the common Magnifica. 1-gal. containers,
