 nated by M. Frikart, of Staefa, Switzerland.

 years. The bushy plants, which grow about 



2 feet tall and more in diameter, have proved 

 hardy with sub-zero temperatures. The sky- 

 blue or pale violet-blue flowers are from 2 Y^ to 



3 inches in diameter, single, with 35 to 50 nar- 

 row petals, and deliciously fragrant. They last 

 a long time on the plant and are wonderful cut- 

 flowers. Blooms start early in summer and 

 keep up continuously until frost. 50 Cts.
