Our New Butterfly Bush 
Floralart 
TRADE MARK 
The outstanding character’stic of this new Butterfly Bush is the full- 
ness of the bloom. The flower spikes of most varieties of Butterfly Bush 
start blooming at the base and open progressively until they bloom out at 
the tip. By this time, the flowers at the base have faded so that at no one 
lime is the flower spike in full bloom. FLORALART blooms over the en- 
tire spike at the same time and the spike is almost as broad at the top as 
at the base. These characteristics make FLORALART of outstanding merit 
for florists use, as well as for garden and home decoration. The color is a 
clear rose-purple and the flower sprays, even on young plants, are often a 
foot or more in length. The plants are strong growers.

Planting for Post-War Business 
No one knows when the war will end—we all hope soon. 
But that it will end, and end victoriously for the United 
Nations appears certain now. 
ee 
Post-war planning is the order of the day. All for- 
ward-looking business men are working out definite plans 
for the development of their business to meet civilian de- 
mands. There is every indication that the nursery business 
wll become greater than ever. Real estate experts predict 
that hundreds of thousands of new homes will be required 
after the war, thus creating an enormous new market for 
nursery stock. The nurseryman who is ready to supply this 
demand will profit handsomely. 

Have you made your plans? Have you kept up your 
production or has your stock run down like that of so many 
other nurserymen? Now is the time to begin building it 
back with increased plantings. On pages 26, 27 and 28 of 
this catalog you will find a list of lining-out stock. Look 
it over now and place your order today for what you need.
