new blue buddleia, fortune 
A 1936 introduction by Wayside Gardens. (Plant Patent No. 
206.) Most ever 7 one is familiar with the Butterfly Bush. Sev- 
everal varieties of it have been offered for a number of years. 
All of them had defects and many shortcomings. In Buddleia 
Fortune we believe we come very close to perfection. The bush 
or shrub is of very neat habit, about four feet high and four 
feet across. It possesses none of the undesirable wild and rough 
growing characteristics of the older varieties. The foliage of 
Buddleia Fortune is a deep, leathery dark green. The color 
is pure lilac with a brilliant orange eye in each tiny flower, 
thousands of which make up the sprays which are from 1 2 to 
18 inches long. The flowers are produced in superabundance 
throughout the entire 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 va¬ 
rieties 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 stem 2 to 3 
feet long and last in water for several days, which is not pos¬ 
sible 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 sum¬ 
mer. (See page 1 29 for color illustration.) Each $0.75, Doz. $7.50 
NEW PINK BUDDLEIA, CHARMING 
A new shrub bearing throughout the late summer and autumn 
elegant long sprays covered with lovely lavender-pink blooms 
which, compared with other Buddleias introduced up to date, 
are distinctly pink. It received a Silver Medal from the Pennsyl¬ 
vania Horticultural Society. For September and October flow¬ 
ers we suggest pinching off the first flower spikes which de¬ 
velop in July to aid in the development of side branches which 
will bring a greater abundance of flowers during the autumn 
months. Like other Buddleias, this new variety attracts a great 
many colorful butterflies—a feature which accounts for the 
popular name of this showy, hardy shrub. Charming gives a 
wonderful effect in the garden and has exceptional value for 
house decoration. 
Strong flowering plants, $0.75 each, $7.50 per doz. 
NEW BUDDLEIA, DUBONNET 
A glorious color—a counterpart of the popular French wine 
Dubonnet and a shade now very popular in dress fabrics. Glows 
a true red in sunshine and under artificial light. Firm, cylin¬ 
drical spikes closely set with lovely blooms. Of erect growth, 
strong stemmed, with large leathery foliage, and a good late 
summer cut flower. 
Strong blooming plants. Each $0.75, Doz. $7.50 
CALLUNA AND ERICA - Heaths and Heathers 
The Heaths are compact, low growing evergreen plants, and as 
such are extremely useful for planting in front of evergreens or as 
edgings. The small foliage is densely arranged around the wiry 
little stems, and either when in full bloom or in midwinter makes 
a very pretty picture. 
Culture. All Heaths and Heathers require a warm, well drained 
soil. Half peat and loam freely mixed with coarse sand to which 
a liberal quantity of well-rotted cow manure has been added suits 
them best.

Few shrubs are so well known as the Carolina Allspice. In fact, 
over a large part of the United States it is called '’Shrub or 
"Shrub Bush" without any other qualification. In some^places 
it is referred to as the "Sweet-scented Shrub," the "Sweet 
Shrub," or the "Strawberry Shrub." The handsome, dark red- 
brown flowers are produced in early spring. They are deliciously 
fragrant, especially when wilted, and school-boys frequently 
fill their pockets with them, carrying them about until they are 
shriveled husks. The curious large pods which follow are full of 
smooth, brown seeds, like coffee beans, which are elusively 
aromatic when rubbed in the hands and often used as counters 
in children's games. During the summer, the plant is neat and 
very handsome, with glossy, corrugated foliage. It grows 4 to 
5 feet high, and in time will spread over an area equally broad. 
Buddleia, Fortune. The best blue for cutting.
