most beautiful of the genus. Large white flowers with 
brilliant blue border. Occasionally the whole flower is 
lightly suffused with blue. Does splendidly in either sun 
or shade, in common garden soil.

flowers of a deep sky-blue color. A valuable acquisition, as 
it blooms quite late in the season.

til late autumn. Does best in acid soil and shade, but 
grows quite satisfactorily in the garden.

of the preceding variety, except that berries are polished 
waxy-white. Both varieties are very ornamental during 
the whole season.
