pot-plant form for several years. They need no special condi- 
tions for flowering, no special knowledge or skill in culture.

then allowed to grow freely. Not difficult from seed. Seeds 
arrive at intervals, and orders will be held until seeds are 
available, then filled in rotation. 8 seeds for 50c.

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.
