Sweet-Sceeited^boutUe 
RUSSIAN VIOLET 
This rare Violet has practically been out of com' 
merce for the past ten years. It is very much sought 
after by those who know it and want it for the ex' 
quisite fragrance of its double flowers. It is slow of 
growth, does not spread much and it has taken us a 
goodly number of years to produce a quantity of this 
fine Violet. Nothing sweeter could be grown by you 
in your garden. Excellent for that difficult shady 
place.

Most everyone is familiar with the Butterfly Bush. Several va¬ 
rieties of it have been offered for a number of years. All of them 
had defects and many shortcomings. In Buddleia Fortune we be¬ 
lieve we come very close to perfection. The bush or shrub is of 
very neat habit, about four feet high and four feet across. It pos¬ 
sesses none of the undesirable wild and rough growing charac¬ 
teristics of the older varieties. The foliage of Buddleia Fortune is 
a deep, leathery, dark green. The color is pure lilac with a bril¬ 
liant orange eye in each tiny flower, thousands of which make 
up the sprays which are from twelve to eighteen inches long. 
The flowers are produced in super-abundance throughout the en¬ 
tire summer and autumn until stopped by frost. The flower sprays 
instead of being flat on one side as in the old varieties are 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 
these plants in bloom is a sight worth while. The flowers may be 
cut with stems 2 to 3 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. (See page A for color illustration).
