three months old and a foot in height are said to be covered with 
flowers. Dr. Bell, a well-known amateur in Louisville, Ky. 
(where the variety originated), writes that it is a most excellent 
bedding-plant, owing to its fine green foliage, its dwarf, symmetrical 
form, and its profusion of flowers; while to the florist it will be 
most valuable for a basket plant and for cut flowers. $1. $7.50 
per dozen. 
Polemonium Creruleum Variegatum. 
A most distinct herbaceous bedding-plant, with long, graceful 
pinnate foliage, lanceolate leaves, white or green, margined with
