NEW PINK BUDDLEIA 
See illustration, page 20. 
Charming. Probably the most outstanding 
new plant of recent introduction. This 
magnificent Buddleia was awarded a Silver 
Medal by the Pennsylvania Horticultural 
Society. It is a glorious shrub bearing 
elegant long sprays throughout the late 
summer and autumn. For Septem¬ 
ber and October flowers we suggest 
pinching off the first flower-spikes 
in July to aid in development of 
the side branches which will 
bring a greater abundance of 
flowers during autumn months. 
Strong flowering plants, 75c 
each; $6.25 for 10. 
Each year Cole introduces
