THE SUMMER FIR artemisia saccorum 
A new annual ornamental foliage plant from China. It is described 
as forming pyramidal bushes 3 to 5 feet in height, which, grown as an 
individual specimen, looks like a finely grown Christmas tree, and can 
be used in groups or lines in the same way as the Kochia or Summer 
Cypress. The fine pinnate foliage is a rich dark green, and can be used 
when cut to great advantage in connection with flowers of any kind. 
As a class the annual Artemisias are easily grown, doing well in even the 
poorest soil. A most interesting novelty. Pkt., 15 cts.
