 Shown in Color page 14 



.3054 Hippomanica. We can cordially recom- 

 mend this beautiful little plant. Not more 

 than 4 to 6 inches high, it forms a cushion 

 of elegant light green foliage from which 

 emerge single saucer shaped flowers of a del- 

 icate lavender hue, 1 to \% inches across, 

 adorned with a clear yellow eye. Of highly 

 ornamental effect, we are sure that it will 

 prove a gem as a not plant and also suit- 

 able for borders and edgings; the bloom is 

 very profuse and of a long-lasting character.
