Cbanothos Gloire de Plantieres, 



Ceanotlms Gloire de Plantieres. 



Very few of the Ceanothus have found their way into 

 general cultivation owing principally to the fact that most 

 of the varieties heretofore introduced have been very ten- 

 der. In this new variety is combined almost entire hardi- 

 ness, a slight protection around the roots, which may be 

 omitted if planted in a sheltered position, being snfScient 

 to carry them over successfully, while the flowers are of 

 large size and of a most de.sirable shade of lavender blue. 

 The shrub-like plant grows about three feet high and 

 begins to bear its graceful and airy heads of flowers early 

 in June, continuing through the greater part of the sum- 

 mer. (See cut.) 25 cts. each ; $2.50 per doz.
