THE DING-EE & OONARD COMPANY'S 



Plumbago Lady Larpent. 



This beautiful variety of Plumbago (P. Lar- 

 pentce) was first popularly introduced by us in 

 1890. Since that time it has so thoroughly 

 pleased all who have planted it ; achieved such 

 great popularity, which coupled with our own 

 thorough tests and observations demonstrate 

 that it is unquestionably the most distinct and 

 valuable hardy herbaceous plant now in culti- 

 vation. The plants are strong, upright in habit, 

 growing to a height of 12 to 15 inches in com- 

 pact clumps, and from the middle of July until 

 severe frost are covered with lovely rich violet- 

 blue colored flowers borne in close terminal 

 heads. (We had thousands in bloom on our 

 grounds the past season as late as October 25 ) 

 The foliage is unique, finely serrated and fring- 

 ing the stems. We heartily recommend this 

 fine variety for edging walks, beds or borders, 

 or single specimens set in mixed flower vases or 

 beds, where they appear in lovely contrast with 

 other flowers 



Price, 15 cts. each ; 2 for 25 cts.; 6 for 50 cts.; 

 12 for $1.
