Very few of the Ceanothus have found their way into general cultivation, owing principally to the fact that most of the varieties heretofore introduced have been very tender. In this new variety is combined almost entire hardiness, a slight protection around the roots, which may be omitted if planted in a sheltered position, being sufficient to carry them over successfully, while the flowers are of large size and of a most desirable sliade of lavender-blue. The shrub-like plant grows about 3 feet high, and begins to bear its graceful and airy heads of flowers early in June, continuing through the greater part of the summer. (See cut.) 30 cts. each. CEPMA- Alpina A rare tall- g r o w i n g plant, which, when fully established, attains a height of 6 feet, bearing in July and August delicate sul- phur-yellow flowers, not unlike the flow- ers of Scabiosa. A desirable plant in the shrubbery or for the background of the perennial border. 15 cts. each; § per doz.
