NEW AND RARE PLANTS.
Mostly collected for the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University by Mr. E. H. Wilson,
in remote regions of China.
Gold Medal awarded by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society.

BUDDLEIA hybrida, Eva Dudley. Mr. E. H. Wilson of the Ar-
nold Arboretum writes of this new plant as follows:—
“This charming new plant is of hybrid origin, the result of
crossing the well-known Buddleia Davidii magnifica and B. asiatica.
A free-growing and extremely floriferous plant, it combines the
good qualities of both its parents. Every shoot and lateral branch
terminates in a cylindrical tail from 6 to 20 inches in length, which
is composed of hundreds of fragrant flowers. The flowers are of
the most delicate lavender-pink with intense orange centre. Apart
from its good habit and free-growing and floriferous character,
this new plant is remarkable for the delightful fragrance of its
flowers. A single spray delightfully scents a whole room. It would
appear to me that there is a bright future for this plant, not only
for decorative pot purposes, but also as a cut flower.
“Messrs. Farquhar are to be congratulated on the production
of such a valuable novelty.”
Plants, $2.00 each; $20.00 per doz.
BUDDLEIA Farquharii. This new Winter-flowering Lilac was raised
in our nurseries and is the first authentic hybrid in the genus. The
flowers are pale pink, delightfully fragrant and are borne in long,
cylindrical tail-like clusters. It is of easy culture, flowers during
December and January and is valuable for conservatory and house
decoration and as a cut-flower. Price, 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz.
Boston, January 1st, 1920.
BUDDLEIA variabilis Wilsoni. The latest of all the Summer Lilacs
to flower. It blooms in September and bears immense tails, some-
times attaining 30 inches in length, of bright rosy-lilac flowers with

FARQUHAR’S GOLD MEDAL
PAEONIES.
The Gold Medal of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society
was awarded to R. & J. Farquhar Co. for a Display of Pzo-
nies, June, 1913.
Peeonies require a good rich, deep soil and an abundant supply of
water during the growing season. When enriching the ground the use of
too much fresh manure near the roots should be avoided. An impor-
tant point to observe is not to plant too deep. The roots should be
planted so that the eyes will be 2 to 3 inches below the surface. Too
deep planting is a frequent cause for shy flowering.
The figure following the name indicates the relative time of flowering.

EVERBLOOMING HYBRID TEA-SCENTED ROSES.
prea
Rose Garden. Caroline Testout in the Foreground.
This class furnishes some of the finest, most constant blooming and best varieties for exhibition and garden decoration. They bloom continuously
from midsummer until frost. They require protection during Winter, being only half-hardy. Dwarf plants may be readily protected by drawing the soil over
the centre or crown to a height of 6 inches; a further covering should be given by mulching with leaves or pine needles to a height of 6 to 12 inches.

a beautiful clear pink color; stands the sun well; free and con-
stant bloomer. $2.00 each.

The raisers describe this variety as by all odds one of the finest
roses ever introduced. In color a luminous flame-pink, toned
with coral and shaded with translucent gold at the base of the
petals. In fragrance it is equal in its intensity to the finest
Marechal Niel. The buds are long and pointed and expand into
a flower of mammoth proportions. The growth is vigorous to a
degree. The beauty of form and ever-increasing wealth of color
is maintained from the bud until the last petals drop. $1.50
each.
