MOtiNTAIN FLEECE. 



(Polygonum Amplexicaule, var. Oxyphyllum.) 



The above engraving gives a fair representation of this excellent 

 Hardy Garden Plant, which may be well called " Mountain Fleece," 

 for its masses of white when seen at a distance easily suggest the 

 idea. It forms a bush from 3 to 4 feet in height and width. Its 

 great feathery white panicles, from 9 to 12 inches long, are pro- 

 duced from September until cut down by frost in October. Being 

 entirely hardy in every section of the country, it will prove one of 

 the most useful of all fall flowering plants. For cemetery decora- 

 tion it will be particularly suitable. Price, 50 cts. each ; S4.50 doz.

 let. Plants certain to flower.

 plant, graceful foliage, sending up flower spikes 5 feet high
