 borne in large clusters on long stems. It grows about 2 feet high and is literally 

 covered with these snowy blossoms from spring until frost. Splendid cut flower

 sown early Pkt. 10c.

 dry as "Everlastings" for winter bouquets; Acrocliniums are also grown

 are showy and effective — -and will stand a lot of abuse on account of 

 the lasting quality of the flowers; 1 foot Pkt. 5c.
