Che Best 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 !ong, 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- 
spicuous 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 
wide as that of other varieties, giving a very massive eftect. 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. 
Hardy 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 
Paella nan as ayy scented. 
: uddleia Alternifolia is best transplanted from ts and ints: 
Calluna Vulgaris too large. We, therefore, offer year plants ae Bog Inches 
: P high in pots. These will grow without fail and will bloom the first year 
after planting. Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $32.00 
Callicarpa Purpurea 
CALLUNA AND ERICA - Heaths and Heathers 
The Heaths are compact, low growing evergreen plants, and as such 
are extremely useful for planting in front of evergreens or as edgings. 
The small foliage is densely arranged around the wiry little stems, and 
either when in full bloom or in midwinter makes a very pretty picture. 
Culture. All Heaths and Heathers require a warm, well-drained soil. Half 
peat and loam freely mixed with coarse sand to which a liberal quantity 
of well-rotted cow manure has been added suits them best. 
*Calluna vulgaris Each $1.00, Three $2.75, Doz. $8.50 
(Scotch Heather.) A low-growing shrub, with erect branches covered 
with short, closely adpressed leaves. The pretty, bell-shaped flowers 
occur i great profusion toward tops of the shoots, and are a pretty 
rosy color. 
H. E. Beale Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
A low growing heather, about 6 to 8 inches high, which spreads into 
a clump about 12 to 18 inches in diameter. Im August and September 
it is completely covered with lovely double pink flowers which often 
last well into October. When not in bloom, it is a handsome low grow- 
ing interesting foliage plant, perfectly hardy but prefers sun to shade.
