4 BUDDLEIA or BUTTERFLY BUSH 1 
Flowers of soft blue, lavender, rose-violet, 
glowing wine purple, sometimes in pink, 
and one or two species even of orange, car- 
ried in dense racemes over a period of many 
weeks. At Philadelphia, most of the Budd- 
leias are winter-hardy shrubs. In colder 
climates they may behave as herbaceous 
perennials, new stems arising each season. 
Since they bloom on the new growth, this 
doesn’t lessen the number of flowers. Budd- 
leias grow with ease from seed, usually 
giving a truss or two of bloom first year 
from early sowings. Illustrated opposite. 
We offer a mixture in full color range. 
Order as BUDDLEIA SPECIAL BLEND.

Lovely blossoms are here, along with bizarre, decorative 
foliage forms. The flowers may be lemon, golden, cinnabar, 
pure red, purple, rose, pink, or in pastel tones, and in few 
plants are they more showy. Though mostly grown as pot 
plants, it will be noted that some of the kinds, with slight 
protection, will winter in northern gardens.
