Buiterfly Bush 
_ The Butterfly Bushes are becoming more popular every year because 
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 sum- 
mer. 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 
pues myriads of brightly colored butterflies that hover around them all 
ay 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 colors: 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 four 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-laven- 
der flowers in large, fuil, 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.

flowers. Especially good in borders and for cut flowers.

CHAENOMELES LAGENARIA — Willis Strain — Flowering Quince (For- 
merly Cydonia japonica). We are proud to be the introducers of this 
superior strain of flowering Quince. It took many years of observation 
and selection to come up with this upright growing shrub of uniform 
habit, with brilliant red flowers. It is grown from cuttings of course, 
in order to perpetuate these desirable characteristics. =
