A Hew Remarkable Carolina Mountain Plant 



Stenanthium robustum 



(Hountain Feather Fleece i 



This remarkable hardy perennial is one o\ our best 

 new introduciions and of the showie-tof all herbaceous 

 plants. As the ouds unf Id in early August they arc 

 quite uprishi a d of a light green tinpe, gradually be- 

 coming whiter until at last they burst lorth into a veri- 

 table snowbank of drooping, fleecy bloom of purest 

 white, the paniclt-s often 2 to 3 feet long. In September 

 the flowers turn to shades of pink and purple. A vig- 

 orous perennial, from 5 to 8 feet when well established, 

 and IS absolutely 1 ardy. 



The MouniaiQ Feathered Fleece 

 is of easy cultivation, and makes a 

 wonderful show equaled by few 

 plants of any dtscripi on. 



The illusiration pive- some idea of 

 Stenanthium when id full bloom, but 

 inadtquattly conveys the beauty of 

 the delicate, feathered dti>opingflow-
