 est perfection of this type; the semi-double 

 flowers, 3 to 4 inches across, are poised on 

 stalks 1 > 2 to 2 feet long, making them of excep- 

 tional value cut for vases, etc. The coloring of 

 the flowers is a beautiful lilac-blue shading to 

 deep blue Pkt. 15c, 



Caucasica Alba. A large, pure white variety; 

 counterpart of the above; beautiful; the flow- 

 ers. 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.
