but greatly superior to it. Its branching flower spikes, of a very bright rose 
with a crimson shade, appear successively from ten to fifteen on each plant, 
and measure each fully 15 to 18 inches in length, and from J to 1 inch in 
breadth ; the foliage lying flat on the ground is comparatively small, and 
completely hidden by the numerous flower spikes, each leaf being about 
5 inches long and to 2 inches broad, undulated and glaucous. One plant 
will last in flower more than two months, and if sown in succession from 
February to April, it may be had. constantly flowering throughout the 
summer and autumn. A whole bed of this lovely plant in full bloom is a 
truly magnificent eight, being one mass of flowers. 6rf. per pkt. 
n.A. Statice Spicata (Everlasting) — Forms long spikes of rosy- 
pink flowers ; of easy growth. 3d. per pkt. 
Other Varieties of Statice can be supplied.
