Fruticosa and Viaude Seedlings 
We have a number of these with marked individuality, 
but have not yet decided which to retain and propagate. 
They have generally, the dark, leathery leaf and white 
blooms in clusters on long stems, though very smooth, 
lighter green leaves are included. The illustration in our 
green list, page 27, is typical. They are admirable for 
grouping, making a pleasing contrast to the rather monot¬ 
onous foliage effect of the RUBRA type and only half as 
tall in habit. 
Price 50c each except for one with a wavy leaf and 
spreading habit that makes an elegant basket plant, which 
is $1.00.
