H3 
fine border plant, low growing, with flat leaves 
io inches long, and known as Silvery Clary. 
Campions have very pretty grey leaves and 
stalks, with rose-coloured flowers. Cineraria 
maritima has deeply indented or cut leaves of 
a whitish, floury grey, but is not hardy, alas, 
for it makes a beautiful carpet or edging, as 
does also the common pink, which can be kept 
quite tidy, if clipped back after flowering. 
Globe artichokes and cardoons are some of the 
handsomest grey-foliaged plants we have, and 
grow into big clumps 3 feet high. Santolina 
is a small bush, easily propagated by cuttings 
or divisions into single stems. It is apt to get 
straggly if not cut well back in June, but a 
new variety has been recently introduced 
which is quite compact. There are several 
silvery saxifrages, longiflora being especially 
beautiful. From the deep clefts of rocks in 
Norway it falls like a lace veil, draping the 
high walls with its branching stems, 2 feet long, 
of lovely white flowers. Here we never see 
it save tied to a stick in a pot, and growing 
upright. There are one or two blue and 
silver plants such as Echinops ruthenicus , 3 to 
5 feet high, with round blue thistle-like 
flowers, and leaves covered with silvery down. 
Abies glauca , of lovely silvery blue, is so
