Hardy Perennial Plants for 
NURSERYMAN AND SEEDSMAN 
Quality Supreme 
For many years we have maintained our connections with one of the largest 
perennial growers, who specializes in growing superior quality plants. During 
these years we kept close watch of the types that are best suited for the florists, 
either for planting outdoors for summer cut-flower purposes or the proper plants 
established and cured for forcing purposes.

BUDDLEIA HARTWEGI 
Buddleia vies with Delphinium for first place in the hardy cut-flower perennial 
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 cut-flower plant and as an 
ornamental lawn shrub is very worthwhile. 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. 
Strong Established 2-inch Pot Plants. Per 10. $2.75 Per 100. $12.00 
Strong 2-Year Field Grown Plants. Per 10. $2.50 Per 100. $20.00 
Dreer's New Pink Butterfly Bush "CHARMING" 
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 develop¬ 
ment of side shoots, which will bring better flowers later in the season. (This 
also applies to Hartwegi.) 
3-inch Pot Plants. Per 10. $3.50 Per 100. $30.00 
2-inch Pot Plants (for lining out). Per 10. $2.25 Per 100. $18.00 
BUDDLEIA "SUPERBA" 
Fine, exceptionally large graceful flower spikes of good form, often 14 to 18 
inches in length, color light violet with a rose tint. We highly recommend this 
variety for the large floral pieces. Its color blends beautifully with other flowers. 
Field Grown. Per 10. $2.00 Per 100. $15.00 
2-inch Pots. Per 10. $1.50 Per 100. $10.00 
The Florist 
Delphinium "Blackmore and 
Langdon Hybrid" 
Forced in a 9-inch Pot 
DAISY "Double White Swan" 
Pure white double flowers on strong wiry 
stems 24 to 30 inches in length, in bloom for 
Memorial Day. It is unquestionably the best 
double cut flower variety for florists cut flower 
purposes in existence today. For best results 
outdoors we recommend early spring planting. 
In addition to the outdoor cut flower value, 
this plant is also excellent for forcing. Within 
the last three years there were large quan¬ 
tities of this variety forced in various sections 
of the country and we have received wonderful 
reports. The good strong field grown clumps 
produce quantities of very desirable double 
white Pyrethrum-like flowers of good size, 
which find a very lively demand. Forcing time 
required, 8 weeks. 
For forcing, strong selected field grown clumps: 
Per 10.$1.75 Per 100.$12.00 
DELPHINIUM 
For forcing we supply specially treated 
Delphinium Belladonna and Bellamosum. 
Delphinium Belladonna. The most continuous 
blooming of all, never being out of bloom from 
June 1st until cut down by hard frost. The clear 
turquoise blue of its flowers is not equalled 
for delicacy and beauty by any other flowers.

forcing. Per 10-$1.50 Per 100_$10.00.
