NEW ANCHUSA ITALICAS. 
(The Improved Italian Alkanet or Bugloss.) 
Although introduced only a few years ago the two Anchusas offered below 
vacancy in this color, of which there is never a superabundance, particularly 
during their flowering period, which covers the months of May and June. They 
form much-branched specimens 8 to 5 feet high, each branch terminated by a 
large, pyramidal, graceful spike of blue flowers, and while the habit of the 
plant is strong and vigorous it is not at all coarse. Of easy culture in any 
good garden soil and a sunny position. Very effective either in solid beds or 
in the hardy border.
