New Buddleias 
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. 
Fortune (Plant Patent No. 206) 
Each $1.25, Three $3.50, Doz. $12.00 
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 of 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 practically 
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. 
Flaming Violet (Plant Patent No, 519) 
Each $1.25, Three $3.50, Doz. $12.00 
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 brilliant 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 Budd- 
leias. 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 and autumn. 
Fascinating Each $1.25, Three $3.50, Doz. $12.00 
A beautiful new Buddleia bearing long, graceful, somewhat open 
blooms of soft cattleya-pink or orchid. This handsome strong grow- 
ing shrub flowers profusely throughout the summer and autumn, and 
its big round trusses of flowers, 14 to 18 inches long, make it a con- 
spicious 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. 
Purple Prince (Plant Patent No. 706) 
Each $1.25, Three $3.50, Doz. $12.00 
The immense broad spikes which resemble Lilacs are a rich, iridescent 
imperial purple which sparkles in sunlight. A brilliant orange eye 
in each tiny flower gives added charm and interest to this out- 
standing 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 
Double Flowering Cherry, Kanzan 
wide as that of other varieties, giving a very massive effect. These 
big flowers are produced in unlimited quantities throughout summer 
and autumn on handsome, rugged, but not too tall plants. Excellent for 
cutting and particularly handsome under artificial light. 
White Profusion (Plant Patent No. 786) 
Each $1.25, Three $3.50, Doz. $12.00 
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. 
Buddleia Alternifolia 
(Fragrant Buddleia) : : 
A beautiful shrub which grows to about 8 feet in height. It is 
perfectly hardy and must not be trimmed back to the ground like other 
Buddleias offered on this page. ; ’ 
Branches are upright, then spreading and arching. Each arching 
branch is covered with hundreds of lilac-purple flowers. In bloom in 
May and June, it makes a fine display of color and is delightfully 
fragrant. We know of few shrubs that make such a fine display of 
bloom and are as richly scented. 
Buddleia Alternifolia is best transplanted from pots and plants not 
too large. We, therefore, offer two-year plants about 18-24 inches 
high in pots. These will grow without fail and will bloom the first year 
after planting. Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
Alo wer Cherries 
Very beautiful early spring-flowering small trees, seldom growing 
over 25 feet tall. From early to late May they are loaded with single or 
double flowers of great charm and beauty. There are upright growing, 
spreading, and weeping forms of this lovely tree. Should be grown in 
every garden where winters permit their planting. We offer only the 
hardiest varieties which are successfully grown at Highland Park, 
Rochester, N. Y. 
Akebono (Daybreak) Each $4.00, Three $11.00, Doz. $40.00 
In our opinion this is one of the most beautiful trees. It is a pink flow- 
ering type of the famous Yoshino Cherry so widely planted in Tokyo. 
There are said to be over 10,000 trees of it in that city. Akebono belongs 
in the same class as those around the tidal basin in Washington, D. C. 
When in bloom this variety is a cloud of pink with not a leaf showing. 
We get the same old thrill from it every spring as it does not seem 
possible to remember from one year to another how superbly beautiful 
it is. Luckily it is one of the best growers and soon makes a good sized 
and freely blooming tree. Very early; the first Cherry to bloom. 
Amanogawa Each $4.00, Three $11.00 
Erect growing, semi-double Cherry. Name means “Milky Way.’’ Unlike 
all others in its extremely narrow, erect growth, which takes little room. 
Flowers semi-double, pink, in erect clusters. 
James H. Veitch (Fugenzo) Each $4.00, Three $11.00 
Rather late flowering but considered one of the finest garden varieties. 
Nice, shapely small tree loaded in spring with deep rose-pink blooms. 
Kanzan Each $4.00, Three $11.00 
Also called Kwanzan and Sekiyama. All names mean Gateway to the 
Mountain. Probably the most popular and best known double. Flowers 
very large, up to 2 inches, with about 30 large petals; deep rosy pink. 
Kuramayama Each $4.00, Three $11.00 
A beautiful double late flowering Cherry. Flowers open flat and wide and 
are quite full. Petals are ruffled and frilled and of a beautiful shade of 
pink with delicate carmine edges, and center of flesh-pink. 
Mt. Fuji Each $4.00, Three $11.00 
A lovely variety highly valued by all who love flowering Cherries. Its. 
double, snowy white flowers are very large and heavy, produced in great 
abundance. Being the only snow-white, rose-flowering Cherry in culti- 
vation in this country, it is very popular. The Arnold Arboretum Bulle- 
tin often mentions it because of its beauty and hardiness. 
Naden Each $4.00, Three $11.00 
A great garden favorite. Makes a tremendous show when trees are 
literally smothered in apple-blossom-pink, semi-double flowers arranged 
in short-stem clusters. Nice, small lawn tree. 
Shirofugen Each $4.00, Three $11.00 
(Victory.) Color effect very unusual. When first open the large flow- 
ers are soft pink, soon becoming white. Then as they get older they 
turn deep cerise so that the tree always has plenty of both pink and 
white flowers at one time. It is an extremely profuse bloomer and good 
grower. New leaves deepest bronzy purple. 
AUTUMNALE - Autumn Flowering 
A delightfully graceful variety, makes a small tree about 12 ft. high 
which is loaded with small pink flowers in spring and again in the 
autumn. Flowering branches are somewhat pendulant creating a most 
artistic effect. One of the choice kinds. Is wonderful if grown as a 
tall shrub. We can furnish both shrub form and tree form. 
Each $5.09, Three $14.00 
WEEPING CHERRIES 
Single Pink Weeping Cherry Each $7.00, Three $18.00 
Weeping heads grafted on straight trunks about 6 feet tall. Flowers 
small, single, pale pink.
