ANCHUSA CAPENSIS.

 deep blue, with white center. The 

 plant will thrive in shady, out-of-the- 

 way places where nothing else will 

 grow, and furnishes excellent bee past- 

 ure. It commences to bloom earlv and 

 continues late. Two feet. Half hardy 

 biennial, but it often blooms the first 

 year. Packet, 3 cts.
