S20—CRAPE MYRTLE. Out of the South comes one of the most beautiful of all 
shrubs. Tall bushy plant is covered from midsummer until fall with immense 
clusters of lovely colorful flowers of crepe-like texture set off by glossy deep 
green foliage. Farther north where the tops die back in winter, if well protected 
like Hybrid Tea Roses they will come from the root and bloom on the new 
growth. Not recommended north of southern Iowa, and even in Missouri and 
southern Iowa should be well covered through the winter. All Crape Myrtle 
plants are slow starting the spring they are set out, often remaining dormant for 
several weeks, and the planter must be patient. Choice of (a) Red, (b) Purple.

BUDDLEIA—The Summer Lilacs 
Often called BUTTERFLY BUSH because of their attraction to butterflies. We 
consider these four the finest of the newer varieties. Plant several in your shrub 
or flower garden, as their lavish blooms, richly colored and fragrant, come at a 
time when flowers are scarce, and last a long time. Excellent for cutting. Snowbank 
is pictured at the upper right, while Charming, Empire Blue and Royal Red are 
shown in color on page 43. In colder sections, protect through the winter the same 
as perennials. é
