HARDY DECIDUOUS SHRUBS
The Ever=Blooming Butterfly Bush
(Buddleya Variabilis Magnifica)
It was a matter of some thought before this highly
desirable plant was finally christened with the common
English name by which it goes. Several years ago there
were imported from Europe some plant novelties and this
one was among them. We observed it carefully for a
season and were charmed with its beauty, ease of culture
and free flowering habit. The name Butterfly Bush was
applied to it because it seems to attract butterfles in
large numbers. Particularly we notice that it is not alone
the common little yellow species of butterfly, but also the
large and gorgeously colored butterflies that swarm about
it as though vieing with it in brilliancy of color. This
shrub from a young plant set out either in the spring or
fall, will mature to full size the first summer, producing
a handsome bush, which the first year often maintains a
height of four feet. It produces long, graceful stems,
which terminate in tapering panicles of beautiful lilac-
colored flowers that are of miniature size and borne by
the hundreds on a flower head which is frequently ten
inches long. A single plant the first season will throw
out as many as fifty flower spikes, -which increase greatly
in number during succeeding years. The year after plant-
ing, it generally commences to flower in June and con-
tinuing each season until severe frosts nip it. The foliage
and blooms are exceedingly fine. The shrub is rather
semi-herbaceous, by which we mean in some latitudes it
will die down to the ground and while perfectly hardy,
we recommend covering the roots with manure, leaves or
other suitable materials as winter approaches, as this will
produce a heavy growth the following season. This shrub
is very desirable as an individual specimen in the lawn
and garden, or placed promiscuously in the shrubbery
border. Pine plants, 20 cents; three for 50 cents.
AZALEA MOLLIS — The most brilliant and showy of all
hardy shrubs, exceeding even the Rhododendron, and
entirely hardy without protection in all situations. The
bloom, which varies in color from the intense rosy-
crimson to lemon-yellow, literally covers the compact,
spreading plant, forming a huge bouquet, and which
remains in perfection for a long time in Mav and June.
Massed they produce an effect that is actually brilliant
and dazzling. These plants ready to bloom. 50 cents.
BUXUS (Ornamental Box) — Sempervirens — Useful for
edging and bordering walks, etc. A handsome shrub
with deep green foliage. This is not as dwarf as the
Sempervirens Nana, but we find it so much more vigor-
ous and hardy that we advise planting this and trim-
ming to height required. 5 cents each; 50 cents per
dozen, postpaid. By express, purchaser to pay ex-
pressage, $3.00 per hundred.
CALYCANTHUS PLORIDUS (Carolina Allspice or Sweet
Scented Shrub) — A most desirable shrub. The wood is
fragrant; flowers of a rare chocolate color, having a
peculiar agreeable odor that is very penetrating Thev
blossom in June and at intervals afterwards.' Pine
plants, 15 cents; strong two-year-old plants, 35 cents.
CYDONIA JAPONICA (Japan Quince) — Has bright scarlet
flowers in great profusion in early spring; one of the
best shrubs. Pine plants, 25 cents.

and bark deep green; flowers golden-vellow. Blooms
earliest of all shrubs before the foliage comes 20
cents; two-year size. 40 cents.
