NEW BABY'S BREATH ASTER 
•

for garden and cut flower planting. It is distinctive in growth, 
making fine, round clumps 15 to 18 inches high. The foliage 
is dark green. Its flowering period, which is exceptionally 
long, begins about the first of August. As an alternative for 
Gypsophila. or filling in cut flower work it is being extensively 
used. It is also considered one of the best Rock Garden and 
perennial plants introduced in recent years. The flowers are 
pure white in color, and about one-half to one inch in diameter.

A remarkable new perennial of iron-clad hardiness from 
Korea, forming fine large clumps 2 to 3 feet in both diameter

light claret pink. It blooms in the greatest profusion in early 
October to early December. Of easy culture, thriving in any 
good garden soil. We believe the Korean Chrysanthemum pos¬ 
sesses exceptional possibilities. For cutting there is nothing 
quite like it for the late fall. $1.00 per 12; $7.00 per 100;

BUDDLEIA—The Butterfly Bush 
This is perhaps the most popular of our garden and hardy 
border shrubs, being almost continually in flower from July 
until frost. The plant grows to a height of about four feet 
and produces an abundance of flower spikes which are made 
up of myriads of miniature florets of beautiful shades of lilac. 
The flowers are very fragrant and attract butterflies in great, 
numbers from which fact the shrub has gained its name. 
ILE DE FRANCE (New) 
For brilliance of color, grace of its flower spikes, and uni¬ 
form habit of growth, this new Buddleia greatly surpasses all 
other varieties in cultivation. The plants develop into well- 
branched, symmetrical bushes 3 to 4 feet high. The individual 
flower spikes measure 6 to 9 inches in length. They are bril¬ 
liant rosy purple, with a violet suffusion. Their fragrance 
adds another feature to their beauty. We offer strong thrifty 
plants that will produce an abundance of flowers this summer. 
$1.20 per 12; $8.00 per 100; $75.00 per 1000. 
ALTERNIFOLIA (New) 
This is the hardiest “Butterfly Bush” yet introduced. Only 
once in a lifetime do we find a new shrub of such outstanding 
merit as this. While other Buddleias freeze down to the ground 
every winter, and during the summer grow to a height of five 
or six feet, being too large for a perennial border and not 
suitable for among shrubs, this wonderful new Buddleia 
DOES NOT FREEZE DOWN in winter, but is just like other 
shrubs, filling a long-wanted place for Buddleias. It is a very 
distinct and charming sight while in bloom, with its long arch¬ 
ing or pendulous branches covered with clusters of lilac-purple 
flowers from early to mid-summer. $1.20 per 12; $8.00 per 
100; $75.00 per 1000.

outstanding plant. For dependability, no plant can compare 
with Chinese Evergreen for the home. In the past several 
years, it has increased in popularity to the point where it is 
now the most popular plant in most sections for use in fancy 
pottery and ornaments. 2Vs inch pots $1.75 per 12; $12.06 
per 100. 
NEW HEART LEAVED IVY

is better known. Medium sized distinctly heart shaped leaves. 
Stock is very scarce. 
2 1 / 4 inch pots, $1.75 per 12; $12.00 per 100 
VARIEGATED IVY

has become more popular each year. A well made-up plant 
is most beautiful, and given a little more care than the average 
type of Ivy, it will thrive most satisfactorily.
