Gypsophila Paniculata FI. PI. 
Oldhamiana. (L.) 
This is a new variety from 
Japan. When in full flower 
the plant makes a charming 
picture. The light little 
buds are first almost white 
but open a lively shade of 
pink that tends to darken 
as the flowers mature. Each 
individual flower measures 
slightly more than one- 
quarter of an inch in diam¬ 
eter and possesses a white 
throat. The flowers are 
fragrant and the plant is 
perfectly hardy. This has 
the distinct advantage of 
blooming after the others 
have begun to fade. In 
bloom from July to Septem¬ 
ber. 3 to 4 ft. 350 ea.; 
$1.CC for 3; $3.CO per doz.
