Myosotis - Forget-me-not Three Doz . 100 
♦Falustris semperflorens. Large, rich blue 
flowers with yellow eye; a charming plant 
for damp places and a more profuse 
bloomer than the alpestris, which also is 
inclined to be biennial in habit.?0.75 $2.00 $15.00 
Nepeta - Ground Ivy; Catmint 
♦Mussini. An excellent plant for any position, 
but especially useful in the rock garden. 
Of dwarf, compact habit, producing masses 
of bloom of a beautiful shade of lavender 
all spring and intermittently during the 
summer; it is one of the most used rock 
plants or edging plants in Europe. A gar¬ 
den in which the paths are edged with 
Nepeta Mussini should be fairly large, as 
it is quite strong in growth; it may be 
clipped back at any time. Very lovely plant.
