enough to be grown on the margin of the hardy border, as well as 
in the rock garden.

grows into rosettes of silvery foliage with 
clustered heads of white flowers about 6 
inches in height from June until August . .$1.80

plant about twelve inches high. Noted for

(Many other varieties are grown in 
Europe, all more or le s tender and not 
suited for the average American garden). 
Agapanthus - Blue Lily of the Nile 
Umbellatus (Blue Lily of the Nile). A most 
desirable plant for decoration of terrace or 
formal pools. Planted in large pots or tubs 
on the lawn or piazza they make a very 
fine picture. They must be stored inside, 
however, in cold sections of the country, 
as they are not hardy. Specimen plants, 
price on application. Plants in 6-inch pots, 
each, $1.50. 
*Umbellatus Mooreanus. Grows about 18 
inches high, leaves rather short and up¬ 
right; flowers are large and dark blue, as 
large as those of Umbellatus itself. A 
lovely small plant for the rockery or near 
a small pool or stream. This novelty was 
introduced by Wayside Gardens in 1931.
