Butterfly Bush 
The Butterfly Bushes are becoming more popular every year be- 
cause of their usefulness in landscape planting. No shrub gives quicker 
results. Plant in the spring—have a full grown bush in full flower the 
same summer. Established plants start blooming in midsummer and 
continue until frost. Plant them in the rear of perennial beds for high 
background. Mix with shrubs for variety and color. They make good cut 
flowers for home use. Widely used by florists. Not only are the flowers 
showy, but they attract myriads of brightly colored butterflies that hover 
around them all day long. 
Butterfly Bushes are handsome shrubs with long narrow leaves, 
grow 2 to 4 feet high in one season, and come in a wide range of color: 
red, purple, lavender, pink and white. 
Butterfly Bushes like reasonably fertile well drained soil, and plenty 
of sunlight. In the northern two-thirds of the country the tops die down 
in the winter, but new tops are developed the next season and bloom 
the same year. 
We offer you a selection of five of the very best varieties.

Floralart. Developed in New Mexico by Mr. A. C. Miller and intro- 
duced by us. In our opinion it has the best flower of all because 
nearly the whole spike blooms at one time. On most other varieties 
the bottom flowers are faded before the top flowers open. For this 
reason Floralart makes best cut flowers. Handsome orchid-lavender 
flowers in large, full, very compact spikes. Medium size bush.

Red. As nearly red as you will find in Butterfly Bushes. This one is 
so good that we ought to give it a special name.
