ALTHEA, OR ROSE OF 
SHARON 
Undoubtedly the most showy of all shrubs 
flowering in autumn. Here are two really 
attractive kinds—of tidy habit, growing to a 
height of 7 to 8 feet. 
COELESTIS (meaning “‘sky-blue’’). It is just 
that, and the only true blue Althea. There 
is a continuous array of large single blue 
flowers from August right through to the 
Mum season. The best of Altheas. 
SNOWDRIFT. Perfectly formed, large, 
single, pure white flowers. No finer white. 
Above two, 2 to 3 ft., $1.00 each, $10.00 
per doz. Also red, pink, and other colors. 

Hibiscus 
BUTTERFLY BUSH (Buddleia) 
CUT-FLOWERS ALL SUMMER 
No other summer-flowering shrubs bloom so 
continuously or are as useful for cutting. 
Strong-growing, they should be planted in the 
background in full sun. A light, not over-rich 
soil is best. Protect as for roses. 
ALTERNIFOLIA. Chinese Butterfly Bush. 
Makes a wide, spready, graceful 7- to 8- 
foot shrub, covered during July with lilac- 
purple flowers on semi-pendent branches. 
$1.00 each. 
CHARMING. Lavender pink early in the 
season; distinctly pink from mid-summer on. 
DUBONNET. Very long, well-filled, glowing 
red, fragrant flowers. 
ELEANOR. (New.) Shading from lavender 
to Eleanor-blue. Easily the finest of the 
lavender kind. Tremendously long, well- 
filled spikes and good foliage. Plant 5 feet. 
HARTWEGI. Rose-lavender. 
ROYAL PURPLE. It is a deep rich purple- 
red, in which the red seems to glow under 
artificial or bright sunlight. The entire 
flower opens at one time. Free-flowering. 
Above varieties, 75 cts. each, $7.50 per 
doz., except where noted
