BUSH HYACINTH 

 BEAJf. 

 (Dolichos.) 

 This remarka- 

 ble Japanese nov- 

 elty comes en- 

 tirely true to the distinct bush habit of growth. The 

 compact bushes present an attractive appearance sur- 

 mounted by enormous spikes of pure white flowers, which 

 are succeeded by large creamy white pods. The flower 

 spikes are magnificent and are borne from ten to fifteen 

 inches above the foliage. The flowers are snowy white, 

 about one inch across, and resemble those of the flower- 

 ing pea. "When the topmost flowers are fully opened the 

 silvery pods begin to form at the bottom of the spikes. 

 A most showy plant, either grown singly or in the mixed 

 border. Easily raised from seed planted in the open 

 ground after danger of frost is past 10
