 we have attained the highest perfection of this type; the semi-double flowers, 

 3 to 4 inches across are poised on stalks \)i to 2 feet long, making them of 

 exceptional value cut for vases, etc. The coloring of the flowers is a beautiful 

 lilac-blue, shading to deep blue Pkt. 15c. 



3656 Caucasica Alba. A large, pure white variety; counterpart of 

 the above; beautiful; the flowers, 3 to 4 inches across, 

 on long stems, are exquisite for vases, lasting a 

 long time in water, and they are borne freely like 

 those of its blue-colored parent from early 

 summer to late fall Pkt. 25c.
