Statlce Dumosa 
STATICE DUMOSA 
THE FINEST STATICE FOB DRYING 
Of great value to the florist, in fact the most valuable of all 
Statices. In general appearance it resembles the well-known Incana 
Nana variety, which when dried is being imported from Germany 
and here used in immense quantities in wreaths and other floral 
work. Dumosa differs from Incana Nana in having larger individual 
florets, much brighter in color, clear silvery white when dry and 
lavender when fresh. The branched stalks are more than twice the 
size of Incana, the main stems twice as stout. For these reasons 
Dumosa is a highly valuable new variety. Height 20 in. Perfectly 
hardy without protection anywhere. T. pkt. 10c; oz. $1.00; lb. $10.00.
