(A 1937 Introduction) 
Buddelia vies with Delphinium for first place in the hardy cutflower peren¬ 
nial family. While Buddleias have always held a prominent position in the 
category of hardy plants, it is only since the introduction of the newer kinds 
of same that this valuable family has "come into its own." The two latest 
introductions now outshine all previous and should be cultured freely. 
Buddleia Hartwegi (1937 Introduction) as a summer cutflower 
plant and as an ornamental lawn shrub is very worth¬ 
while. The large, bright lavender panicles have remarkable 
substance and harmonize in arrangement with other summer 
flowers. The flowers do not "sunburn," and the tip flowers 
on the panicle open before 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.

DREER'S NEW PINK BUTTERFLY 
BUSH "CHARMING" 
(A 1938 Novelty) 
TWO 
VALUABLE NEW 
BUDDLEIA HARTWEGI 
CUTFLOWER BUDDLEIAS 
The flowers in open sunshine are as near a pink as the Paul Neyron Rose, 
and they come into bloom making a solid round head, opening full length. 
In every way, "Charming" is a very striking Buddleia. 
Under electric lights it is distinctly beautiful when used with other flowers. 
Due to its clear pink color, in basket work or the larger types of floral 
designs it can be used as the main flower and most any other small flowers 
can be used for trimming. It blends beautifully with practically everything. 
We suggest the pinching off in July of the first flower spikes showing, to aid 
the development of side shoots, which will bring better flowers later in the 
New Cutflower Buddleia Hartweigi 
season. (This also applies to Hartwegi). Price: 3-inch pot 
plants, Doz., $4.00. Per 100, $30.00. 2-inch pot plants 
(for lining out), per 100, $18.00. Per 1000, $150.00. 
NEW SCHIZANTHUS 
(Butterfly Flower) 
"Mother's Favorite" 
(Illustrated at the Left) 
"Mother's Favorite" is "tops" as a pot plant for Mother's Day 
and spring sales. Also of exceptional value for cut flowers, this 
new strain is in a class by itself. A high temperature is not 
required for Schizanthus, even in the winter months. For early 
blooming sow August-September. 
Note below what Holm & Olson, the well known retail florists 
and growers of St. Paul and Rochester, Minn., think of this grand, 
new Schizanthus "Mother's Favorite." 
Rochester, Minn., June 22, 1937. 
American Bulb Co., Chicago 
In regard to the Schizanthus, we have grown "Mother's Favorite" 
very successfully as a pot plant. Seeded about the middle of 
January, planted in 2'/4-inch pots, and when ready pot three in a 
7-inch pan, and this makes a very fine plant for Mother's Day. 
These are rapidly becoming very favored by the public, as they, 
even under such unfavorable conditions as in a hospital, develop 
to the last bud and present a mass of blooms that last for weeks. 
If seeded in early December they will be ready to bear April 1. 
I am sure it is a very valuable addition to our spring pot plants. 
Very truly yours,
