HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS. 



MOUNTAIN FI.EECE. 



(Polygonum Amplexioaule, var. Oxyphyllum.) 



The 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 3 to 4 feet in height and 

 width. Its great feathery white panicles, from 9 to 12 inches 

 long, are produced 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 decoration it will be particularly suitable.
