A fast growing perennial that in one season attains the height and dimensions of a shrub. Exceedingly fine for clumps or an ornamental hedge or screen, as they last al- ways, never winter kill, and in midsummer,when shrubbery flowers are scarce, they bear for weeks enormous flowers as large as tea saucers, white, blush, pale and deep pink, rose, etc.; the most of them with deeper-hued eye. Plants from spring-sown seed will bloom in September of the same year. Mixed Colors 10&20. Not entirely new, yet little known and rarely seen, al- though it is one of those flowers of dainty beauty that is appreciated when seen; but can never be justly described. We will not attempt to convey to our readers the impression of its great beauty; this they can never know until they see it, but will say that it is a hardy perennial, sending up numerous stems which send out long, wiry branches, which are clothed with a growth of small, almost hair-like foliage. At the tips of the branches are poised large, salver-shaped blossoms, borne with such airy grace that they appear to be floating in the air. The effect is charming. No garden in the land should be without this exquisite flower. Mixed Colors—Blue, white and pink 10 &20.
