New Buddletas 
Butterfly shrubs bloom abundantly the same year you plant them. Are easy to grow and require 
little or no care. Buddleias make their new growth or show signs of life very late in the spring, not 
until the weather has become quite warm. Therefore, be not alarmed if they do not leaf out as soon 
as other shrubs. 
Fortine 
(Plant Patent No. 206) 
In Buddleia Fortune we believe we come very close to perfection. The bush 
or shrub-is of very neat habit, about 5 feet high and 4 feet across. The 
foliage of Buddleia Fortune is a deep, leathery dark green. The flower 
spikes are lilac with a brilliant orange eye in each tiny flower, thousands of 
which make up the sprays which are from 12 to 18 inches long. The flowers 
are produced in super-abundance throughout the entire summer and autumn 
until stopped by frost. The flower spikes, instead of being flat on one side 
as in many varieties, are fully round and in bloom from base to tip prac- 
tically at the same time. They may be cut with stems 2 feet long and last 
in water for several days. Buddleia Fortune is a grand cut flower as well 
as a showy plant for the garden. 
Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
Flaming Violet 
(Plant Patent No. 519) 
This is one of the most brilliant of the Buddleias. In sunlight in the 
garden, the immense spikes are an amazing color of flaming violet or doge- 
purple, intensely briliiant and sparkling with a fiery glow rarely seen in 
flowers. Under artificial light as a cut flower it is supreme, far surpassing 
in brilliance anything yet produced in Buddleias. The flower trusses are 
completely rounded, measuring 12 to 18 inches long. The individual flowers 
are spaced closely and open practically all at the same time. They last a 
long time in bloom on the shrubs as well as when cut and placed in water. 
The plant is vigorous, strong and upright in growth, and flowers throughout 
the summer cand autumn. We send vigorous young plants in pots which will 
flower profusely for you this year. 
Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
Gg, ascinating 
A beautiful new Buddleia bearing long, graceful, somewhat open blooms 
of soft cattleya-fink or orchid. This handsome strong growing shrub flowers 
profusely throughout the summer and autumn, and its big round trusses of 
flowers, 14 to 18 inches long, make it a conspicuous subject. The more the 
flowers are cut, the more new ones grow. Like other Buddleias this new 
variety attracts a great many butterflies, adding to its charm in the 
garden. Not many plants are available for this year and it cannot be 
purchased elsewhere. We, therefore, urge you to send your order promptly. 
We offer fine young plants in pots which will flower profusely for you this 
summer, 
Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
Peace 
(Plant Patent No. 705) 
At long last a pure white Buddleia, and one that is as hardy as any of the 
other varieties we offer. Buddleia Peace is a result of many years of effort 
and is an offspring of that fine parent Fortune. The graceful 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 contrast 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 white variety 
in your garden. We offer fine showy plants in pots that will flower abun- 
dantly the first summer. 
Each $1.00, Three $2.75, Doz. $8.50 
Purp le Prince 
(Plant Patent No. 706) 
The immense broad spikes which resemble Lilacs are a rich, iridescent 
imperial purple which sparkles in sunlight. A brilliant golden orange eye 
in each tiny flower gives added charm and interest to this outstanding va- 
riety. 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 handsome under 
artificial light. We offer strong plants in pots that will bloom freely this 
summer, 
Each $1.00, Three $2.75, Doz. $8.50 
White Profusion 
(Plant Patent No. 786) 
This new dwarf Buddleia fills a long felt want for a low growing, all- 
summer flowering shrub of which there are so few. Not over three feet 
high and about the same in diameter, it forms a green mound studded 
with literally a hundred or more short-stemmed flower spikes with pure 
white blooms the same as those of Buddleia Peace. Starting to bloom in 
early August, a continuous supply of flowers is produced until October. 
It fits perfectly into the perennial border and is tops in front of taller 
shrubs, providing a spot of cool color where otherwise there is none. 
Each $1.00, Three $2.75, Doz. $8.50 
Gar. yopterts Hardy Blue Spirea 
Blue Mist Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
(Mastacanihus x Mongolica.) This charming low growing shrub is a very 
real contribution to the meager list of summer and fall flowering shrubs. 
It is covered from August till autumn frost with numerous clusters of 
powdery blue, fringed flowers. This shrub grows about 18 to 24 inches 
tall cnd is perfectly rounded, making a small mound about 2 feet in 
diameter. The foliage is lanceolate and slightly toothed and silvery 
green in color. A truly worth-while plant for the flower border as well 
as for in front of the shrubbery border. Perfectly hardy and replaces 
the tender Mastacanthus now in use. 
Caryopteris, Blue Mist 
CORNUS - Dogwood 
Florida (White Dogwood) Each $4.00, Three $11.00, Doz. $40.00 
Nothing we can say will add to the charm, beauty and popularity of 
the white Dogwood. It is THE finest native American small tree. We 
offer well rooted, 3- to 4-foot trees. 
White Cloud Each $6.00, Three $16.00, Doz. $60.09 
From thousands of seedlings of white Doagwoods, we selected several 
years ago an outstanding variation. This distinctive tree was replanted 
and grown by itself for further observation until we were satisfied we 
had something extra fine in white Dogwoods. It is outstanding in par- 
ticular, for the immense amount of flowers it produces as well as the 
rapidity with which it starts flowering so freely. At opening the flowers 
give a creamy yellow effect which, after a few days, changes over to 
white. When in bloom the tree is literally a white cloud; the foliage is 
almost not to be seen. Instead of just planting ordinary seedling trees, 
particularly when space is limited, try this new variety. It will reward 
you with greater masses of blooms for all your life. 
Florida rubra (Pink Dogwood) Each $6.00, Three $16.00, Doz. $60.00 
There are no trees or shrubs which possess a larger measure of attrac- 
tiveness throughout the whole year. The rare pink Dogwood is similar 
in all respects to the common variety except that the flowers are a 
beautiful shade of pink. A good specimen in full bloom is a magnificent 
sight in spring. Does well in shade. We offer plants about 3 to 4 feet
