 until recently been lost sight of. It forms an attractive rosette- 

 like clump of pretty dark green foliage, and in September multi- 

 tudes of flower stems appear, terminated by pure white flowers 

 from 2 to 2h inches in diameter. These begin to develop during 

 the last week in September and continue in good condition 

 throughout October and frequentl) inio November.

 sider this one of the most desirable perennials in our collection, 

 and although introduced more than ten years ago, this plant 

 is seldom offered for sale, owing to its being difficult to propa- 

 gate. We offer strong plants at 50 cts. each.
