 green vein running through the center of the leaves. The young plants do 

 not show the white at first, but develop the variegation after a short time of 

 growth. About 80 per cent, will come true — the balance being the plain 

 green-leaved variety. Soil not too rich is advised Pkt. 25c. 



ARTEMESIA or "SUMMER FIR" 



This new ornamental foliage plant (Saccorum viridis) intro- 

 duced from China is an annual and owing to its fast 

 growth reaches its full size the year of sowing. It 

 forms grand pyramidal bushes 3 to 5 feet high. 

 As a solitary plant it looks like a nicely devel- 

 oped Christmas-tree. As a pot plant it is 

 also very pretty. It may be successfully 

 grown in groups and in borders, similar 

 to the Summer-Cypress (Kochia tricho- 

 phylla). The color of the finely- 

 pinnated foliage is rich dark green. 

 Its resistance to drought and heat 

 is remarkable. Cut branches last 

 very long and may be used for 

 wreaths, decoration, etc. For its 

 easy culture and availability 

 this novelty is warmly recom- 

 mended Pkt. 10c.
