GRAY-LEAVED PLANTS 



The charm and usefulness of plants with gray, hoary, 

 or gray-blue foliage is being more and more realized and 

 appreciated. They make possible many a soft and satis- 

 fying harmony, and have the advantage of remaining in 

 good condition the season through. In the late autumn, 

 when most of our flowers have been driven away by 

 sharp frosts, the gray-foliaged plants assume a new in- 

 terest and keep the garden looking "dressed" until win- 

 ter has fairly closed down upon us.
