New Fortune Butterfly Bush 
I Most everyone is familiar with the Butterfly Bush. Several 
varieties of it have been offered for a number of years. All of them 
had defects and many shortcomings. In Buddleia Fortune we be- 
i lieve we come very close to perfection. The bush or shrub is of very 
i neat habit, about four feet high and four feet across. It possesses 
none of the undesirable wild and rough growing characteristics of 
J the older varieties. The foliage of Buddleia Fortune is a deep, 
f leathery, dark green. The color is pure lilac with a brilliant orange 
, eye in each tiny flower, thousands of which make up the sprays 
I which are from twelve to eighteen inches long. 
The flowers are produced in super-abundance throughout the 
(, entire summer and autumn until stopped by frost. The flower 
f sprays, instead of being flat on one side as in the old varieties, are 
i fully round and in bloom from base to tip practically at the same 
time. The blooms of the older varieties are faded and brown at the 
| bottom of the spray before the tips are in bloom. To see one of 
I these plants in bloom is a sight worth while. The flowers may be 
cut with stems two to three feet long, and last in water for several 
days, which is not possible with older kinds. All of the old kinds 
wilt very quickly. 
Buddleia Fortune is a grand cut flower, as well as a fine plant for 
the flower garden. Strong plants that will bloom this summer,
