Buddleia 
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 superabundance 
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.

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. Starting to bloom in early August, 
a continuous supply of tlowers is produced until October. It fits per- 
fectly into the perennial border and is tops in front of taller shrubs,

Htardy Buddleia Alternifolia 
(Fragrant Buddteia) 
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 ere 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 $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $32.00
