 ing August and September pretty sky-blue flowers in the greatest profusion.

 of a rich gentian-blue color and one of the most admired plants by the many 

 visitors to our nurseries during the early autumn; 3 to 4 feet. 



Greggi. A native of the mountains of Southwestern Texas, makes a shapely, 

 bushy plant about two feet high, and from July to late October bears masses 

 of brilliant carmine flowers which appear particularly rich and luminous dur- 

 ing the fall months; requires protection in winter. 



Greggi Alba. A new, pretty white flowered form which we offered for the 

 first time last year and which makes a good companion to the red flowered type. 



Uliginosa. In general habit similar to Azurea but of stronger growth, form- 

 ing a bushy specimen from 5 to 6 ieet high, and wonderfully free flowering, 

 blooming continuously from June until stopped by severe frost in October. 

 The flowers are a pretty Cornflower-blue with a white throat, and are pro- 

 duced in branched spikes, frequently 6 inches long. 



Virgata Nemorosa. An interesting plant for the hardy border, forming a 

 rosette of large foliage," from which the flower spikes arise, bearing many- 

 flowered whorls of dark blue blossoms; the unexpanded buds are light

 early summer months; 18 in-
