CARYOPTERIS. 



Mastacanthus {Blue Spiicea'). A handsome hardy perennial from China. It is 

 of a vigorous growth, producing flowers in great profusion the whole length of its 

 branches. The color is a rich lavender or sky-blue. A valuable plant either for bed- 

 ding or pot culture, blooming continuously from midsummer until cut by frost in tb 

 fall. (See cut.) 15 cts. each ; §1.50 per doz. 



CEANOTHUS. 



Gloire 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 hardiness, a slight protection around the roots, which may be 

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

 successfully, while the flowers are of large size and of a most desirable sliade 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.
