the summer. (See cut. 



CEANOTHUS. 



Gloire de Plantieres. Very few 

 of the Ceanothus have found their 

 way into general cultivation, owing princi- 

 pally 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 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

 ing flowers in great profusion 

 the whole length of its branches, 

 even young plants in small pots 

 flowering freely. The color is 

 a rich lavender or sky blue. A 

 valuable plant either for bedding 

 or pot culture, blooming con- 

 tinuously from midsummer un- 

 til cut by frost in the fall. (See
