A New Buddleya 
Buddleya Wilsoni. All the qualities of the other Buddleyas arc here retained, namely, a 
wonderful fragrance, continuous bloom and easy growth and in addition, this novelty 
excels in the following features. 
1. It grows but feet high and is a globular bush spreading in the same dimensions 
2. The foliago is willow-like, and therefore more graceful. 
3. The flowers arc slightly smaller in keeping with the height of th« plant, and of a 
pinkish lilac color. 
4. On aceouut of its orderly habit and growth it is the ideal plant for the border.

Euonymus Vegetus 
The Best Evergreen Vine for America 
Better than English Ivy 
Will Cling both to Wood or Stone 
Professor Wilhelm Miller writes in the "Garden Magazine" of November, 1012: 
"Is Ivy the best vine in the world? Doubtless, every Englishman will cry 'Yes!’ because 
the European or English Ivy (Hcdera Helix), is the oldest evergreen vine in cultivation and has 
made the deepest impression in literature, art and history. But if your standard is merit, not 
associations, there is another vine which seems to ine inherently better, viz, the Climbing 
Euonymus, or as I now propose to call it. the "Evergreen Bittersweet." True, the form of its 
leaf is not unique, like that of ivy, but it has one overwhelming advantage in its gorgeous red 
berries, which are resplendent all winter against a noble background of evergreen foliage. 
And in many other ways it has greater value than ivy, even in regions where the ivy is hardy. 
"If I had a million dollars to spare, I should like to plant an evergreen bittersweet against 
every stone, brick and concrete wall in America. The effect would be electrical, for it would 
add 100% to the beauty of America. And it would only be anticipating by 100 years what will 
surely happen, for it is hardly possible that the world holds any plant with greater power to 
transform a house into a home. As in England, every home and every church is encircled, 
dignified, and ennobled by ivy, so every American home will come to be connected so closely 
with the evergreen bittersweet that it will be impossible to think of one without the other ’’ 
We have tested this vine for hardiness in our locality, and find it gives perfect satisfaction, 
and can be recommended in every way. Of course, it must be remembered that young plants 
must be watered the first season very thoroughly and frequently.
