Gypsophila Paniculata Fl. Pl. 



New Double -flowering Gypsophila 



"Bristol Fairy" 



The well-known double-flowering Gypsophila Paniculata, when 

 first introduced, was quite a sensational novelty, and is still one of 

 the most valuable hardy garden plants, with its great panicles of 

 white flowers so indispensable for cutting in July and August. 



In Bristol Fairy, we ha/e a wonderful advance over the afore- 

 mentioned sort, a plant not only of greater vigor, producing much 

 larger panicles of flowers, in which the individual bloom also is 

 considerably larger, and of purer white color, but it also possesses 

 the advantage of flowering more or less continuously throughout 

 the summer, new branches of bloom appearing after the first 

 flush of flowers has passed, if these are cut away when through 

 blooming. 



Strong Roots, $1.50 each; $15.00 per doz. 



Gypsophila CBaby's Breath) 



The Gypsophilas will thrive in any soil in a sunny position, and on account 

 of their gracefully arranged large panicles of minute flowers should be in 

 every garden. 



Paniculata. A beautiful old-fashioned plant, possessing a grace not 

 found in any other perennial. When in bloom during July and August 

 it forms a symmetrical mass 2 to 3 feet in height, and as much through,

 When cut it is exquisite in combination with other flowers.
