Carolina Mountain Plant 
STEN ANTHIUM ROBUSTUM 
(Mountain Feather Fleece) 
A SINGLF. I'ANICI.K AND .MASS OK STrNANTHIUM KNo.M KHiJTOS TAKES AT HKiH ■. 
This remarkable hardy perennial is. without doubt, one of our best new introductions, and may be classed 
with the showiest of all herbaceous plants. As the buds begin to unfold in early August they are quite upright 
and of a light green tinge, gradually becoming whiter until at last they burst forth into a veritable snowbank of 
drooping, fleecy bloom of purest while, the panicles often 2 to 3 feet long In September, the flowers, as they 
ripen, turn to shades of pink and purple, It is a vigorous perennial, attaining a height of from 5 to 8 feet when 
well established, and is absolutely hardy throughout the United States and Canada. 
The Mountain Feather Fleece is of easy cultivation, and if given plenty of food, makes a wonderful show 
equalled by few plants of any description. Give rich soil and ordinary border location. 
The illustration gives some idea of the wonderful effect of Stenanthium when in full 
bloom, but inadequately conveys the bieauly of the delicate, feathered, drooping, flowers. 
When known it will be planted by thousands.
