CEANOTHUS. 



Qloire de Plantieres, Very few of the Ceanothus have found 

 their way into general cultivation, owing principally to the fact 

 that most of the varieties heretofore introduced have been very 

 tender. In this new variety is combined almost entire hardi- 

 ness, a slight protection around the roots, which may be omitted 

 if planted in a sheltered position, being sufficient to carry them 

 over successfully, w.hile the flowers are of large size and of a 

 most desirable shade of lavender-blue. The shrub-like plant 

 grows about 3 feet high, and begins to bear its graceful and 

 airy heads of flowers early in June, continuing through the 

 greater part of the summer. (See cut.) 30 cts. each.
