STENANTHIUM ROBUSTUM 



(Mountain Feather Fleece) 



This remarkable hardy perennial is, without doubt, one of our best new introductions, and may be classed with the show- 

 iest of all herbaceous plants. As the buds begin to unfold, they are quite upright, and of a light green tinge, gradually becoming 

 whiter until at last they burst forth into a veritable snowbank of drooping, fleecy bloom of purest white, the panicles often 2 to 

 3 feet long. After several weeks, the flowers as they ripen, turn to shades of pink and purple. It is a vigorous perennial, attaining 

 a height of from 5 to 8 feet, and is absolutely hardy throughout the United States and Canada. 



The Mountain Feather Fleece is of easy cultivation, and, if given plenty of food, makes a wonderful show equaled by 

 few plants of any description. 



The illustration gives some idea of the wonderful effect of a large mass of Stenanthiums when in full bloom, but inadequately 

 conveys the beauty of the delicate, feathered, drooping flowers. 



Strong Plants, 25 cents each, $2.50 per doz., $18 per 100; extra strong plants, 



50 cents each, $5 per dozen.
