for pots in cool greenhouse, or for sunny warm situations out of doors ; in early summer it 
throws up graceful branching spikes 3 to 4 ft. high, with very elegant glistening snowy white 
flowers of great substance. If the top spike is removed when the flowers are fading the buds 
on the lower spikes rapidly develop, and a decoration is thus maintained for two months.

maintain a succession of flowers pot up at intervals from September to November. If 
planted outdoors give a light covering of dried heather during winter. First-Class
