New Shrubs 
BUDDLEIA, Peace (Page 147) 
(Plant Patent Applied for) (1945 introduction) . 
At long last a pure white Buddleia and one. that is 
as hardy as any of the other varieties we offer. Bud- 
dleia Peace is a result of many years of effort and is 
an offspring of that fine parent Fortune. The grace- 
ful and slightly arching flowers are well formed, full, 
and 12 to 16 inches long, produced in abundance 
. throughout summer and autumn until stopped by frost. 
In the garden they give a cool summer effect and con- 
trast pleasantly with other varieties. As a cut flower, 
it is unsurpassed, combining handsomely with Glads, 
Dahlias, or for that matter, any other flower. The 
plants are rugged and grow about 6 feet tall, have 
fine foliage, grow rapidly and require no more care 
than any other kind. Be the first to have this rare kind 
in your garden. 
BUDDLEIA, Purple Prince (Page 147) 
(Plant Patent Applied for) (1945 introduction) . 
The immense broad spikes which resemble Lilacs are 
a rich, iridescent imperial purple which sparkles in sun- 
light. A brilliant golden-orange eye in each tiny flower 
gives added charm and _ interest to this outstanding 
variety. The shape and size of the flower spikes of the 
new Buddleia Purple Prince are unusual and put this 
variety in a class by itself. The base of the flower spikes 
is at least twice as wide as that of other varieties giving 
a very massive effect. These big flowers are produced 
in unlimited quantities throughout the summer and 
autumn on handsome, rugged, but not too tall plants. 
They are excellent for cutting and particularly hand- 
some under artificial light. 
DAPHNE, Somerset (Page 150) 
During May and early June the plants are covered with 
delightfully scented blush-pink, star-shaped flowers. 
The fragrance is not unlike that of Daphne Cneorum. 
Foliage is rich dark green, giving the effect of Boxwood; 
it remains green until the beginning of March when 
new leaves push the old ones off the branches.

DOMOTOI (Hardy Semi-Double Hydrangea) 
(Page 153) 
This beautiful hardy variety produces large globe- 
shaped clusters of flowers 12 to 15 inches in diameter, 
composed of immense semi-double flowers. Very fre- 
quently the main stem produces 3 or 4 additional small- 
er bloom clusters below the main flower head creating 
a veritable bouquet. The flower heads are well above 
the foliage and last 8 to 10 weeks or more. The color 
is pure pink on alkaline soil but will change to a mag- 
nificent blue if the plant is grown in acid soil. 
LACE FLOWER HYDRANGEA (Acuminata) 
(Page 153) 
This new variety is outstanding for its delicately beau- 
tiful and very decorative flat umbels of blooms. The 
small inner flowers are light blue tinted and surrounded 
by large white and rose sterile flowers. The effect 
created is delicate and lacy. The foliage is bronzy 
green, happily contributing to the general effect. 
HYPERICUM, Sungold (Page 153) 
A beautiful, dwarf, shapely shrub which grows into an 
almost completely oval globe of 22 to 3 feet in diam- 
eter and about 18 to 24 inches in height, densely 
covered with foliage that is handsome throughout the 
summer. It bears its cymes of golden flowers at the 
end of every shoot of the summer’s new growth. The 
flowers are bigger and produced in immense quantities 
transforming this lovely plant into a small mound of 
gold when in full bloom. Of particular interest and 
value is its exceptional hardiness. 
MOCK ORANGE (Philadelphus), Atlas (Page 163) 
This giant-flowered Mock Orange, with its pure white 
blooms as large as those of Dogwoods, will be sen- 
sational in your garden and we predict will replace 
many of the more common and indifferent shrubs. This- 
magnificent hybrid came to us a-few years ago from 
France. Hardy, of easy culture, grows most anywhere, 
good upright habit, and covered with immense blooms 
which slightly lack being 3 inches in diameter that are 
magnificent for cutting. Decidedly a “‘must”’ for every 
shrubbery border. 
PHILADELPHUS, Belle Etoile (Page 163) 
The milky-white flowers are most unusual in that they 
have a conspicuous, light purple blotch in the center. 
For fragrance, very little more can be asked than the 
perfume wafted through the garden by this lovely bush. 
It’s a vigorous, but neatly growing shrub, develops with 
age into a good looking plant of about 5 feet in height. 
Received the Award of Merit from the Royal Horticul- 
tural Society of Great Britain. 
PHILADELPHUS, Innocence (Page 163) 
The long arching branches carry a wealth of large 
single alabaster-white flowers. So heavily loaded with 
flowers are the slender branches as to assume the ap- 
pearance of sheaves of bloom. They are of such purity 
of whiteness as to make all other Mock Oranges seem 
gray by comparison. The fragrance is delightful, more 
delicate, yet more penetrating, than that of Jasmine. 
POTENTILLA fruticosa, Gold Drop (Page 161) 
A charming small shrub of such compact growth it is 
closely and densely covered with small fern-like leaves 
and studded with intensely brilliant golden yellow but- 
tercup-like flowers from early June until October. This 
delightful shrub may be used in front of the shrub bord- 
er or in the foreground of any perennial planting. 
NEW RUBY WEIGELA, Bristol Ruby (Page 169) 
Makes a shapely plant with attractive rich green foli- 
age. Color is a soft ruby-red shading to garnet-crimson, 
extremely pleasing in effect and without harsh tone. 
Attaining a height of 6 to 7 feet at maturity, it makes 
a perfectly formed, well rounded specimen.
