Gypsophila Paniculata Fl. Pleno, "Snow- 
White " serious drawback to the usefulness of the 
popular double perennial Gypsophila has hith- 
erto been that it is not really a pure white After a number of 
years of careful selection we have succeeded in obtaining a 
strain of which the flowers are of an absolutely pure white, 
and we have now great pleasure in offering it to horticultural 
trade. Another valuable feature of this novelty is that it 
produces a larger percentage of double flowers than the old 
type, so that it has an iissured future for all the purposes for 
whicli Gypsophila can be used. Pkt., 30 cts.

the present range of color includes shades of rose, violet, and 
dark purple. The Howcj ing period lasts throughout the summer
