tinuous bloom may be secured almost every growing month.

Gypsophila • Bristol Fairy • The Popular Baby’s Breath 
Bristol Nurseries, Inc., 1927 
This is regarded as one of the outstanding introductions among garden plants of recent years, and has 
enjoyed a tremendous sale, particularly among professional plantsmen, both here and abroad, where it 
received the coveted Award of Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society. Briefly described, its double 
flowers are pure white, fully three times larger than the old Double Baby’s Breath, and its growth is more 
vigorous, established plants averaging 33^ feet in height and 4 to 5 feet across. In all its characteristics it 
is extremely graceful and dainty. Bristol Fairy has the added fine trait of producing occasional side sprays 
after the first crop in late June and July, continuing sporadically until severe frost. Good garden soil, 
enriched with well-decayed barnyard manure, and an open, shade-free location are its chief requirements. 
Avoid strong chemical fertilizers and wet soil. A light mulch or covering applied to the heavy root-crown 
over winter is advised, and this covering should not be removed too early in spring. Pot-plants, 35 cts. 
each, $3.50 per doz., $25 per 100. Field roots, 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.
