5 BUDDLEIA or BUTTERFLY BUSH 1 
Flowers of soft blue, lilac, lavender, rose- 
violet, glowing wine purple, sometimes in 
pink, and one or two species even of orange, 
are carried in long, dense tapering racemes 
over a period of many weeks. At Philadel- 
phia, most of the Buddleias are winter-hardy 
shrubs. In colder climates they may behave § 
as herbaceous perennials, only the roots § 
living over, and new stems arising each 
season. Since they bloom on the new growth, 
this doesn’t lessen the number of flowers. 
Buddleias grow with ease from seed, usually 
giving a truss or two of bloom first year 
from early sowings. We offer a mixture of §& 
seeds of both hybrids and species in full § 
color range. Illustrated opposite. Pkt. 20c;

BRODIAEA 
GRAN DIFLORA 

SALMAGUNDI doesn’t always mean pickles. One dictionary 
meaning is ‘‘a medley,’”’ and our particular SALMAGUNDI, 
offered here, is surely that. It is a mixture of seeds of pretty 
nearly everything we offer, including Treasure Chest listings, 
and of a few we don’t as yet catalog (left-overs from our own 
trial sowings). Of some kinds there will be just a trace, of 
others. much, for this is where old seeds go. Seeds are mostly 
one-year old, a few older. They won’t all grow, but a lot of 
them will, and at low price at which this is sold, you can 
be pretty sure of getting excellent value in plants from it.
