BUDDLEIA VARIABILIS VEITCHIANA 
(Summer Lilac, or Butterfly Shrub) 
One of the most desirable summer-flowering shrubs, which grows rapidly 
and will produce masses of bloom the first season it is set out, even the one- 
year plants. The blooms first appear in July, and are continuous from then 
until cut down by severe frost. The flowers are a pleasing shade of violet- 
mauve, and are borne in long, dense, cylindrical spikes. This plant succeeds 
everywhere; it should be protected in winter by hilling the earth up around 
it and this should not be removed until frost is past in the spring. 
Its freedom of bloom, ease of culture, attractive color and delightful fra¬ 
grance create a demand for it wherever it is planted. l-yr. size, 20 cts. each; 
larger size, 35 cts. each, postpaid; 2-yr. size, 50 cts. each, by express. (See cut.)
