ANCHJSA ITALICA 
DROPMORS VARIETY. Gentian blue. This is one of the best hardy 
perennials for a blue background flower. Grows from three to five 
feet in height bearing the gen'tian blue flowers scattered all over the 
plant. The blooming period is usually during Hay and dune. Sometimes 
this plant does not bloom the first year from &eed in tne cooler parts 
of the country. When planted early in the warmer parts of the country 
you. are most sure to get blooms the first season. There are few plant 
that give us the effect of this tall blue; therefore this is worthy of 
tne garden. Packet 20pf. l/2 oz. JOp'.

GET-ME-NOT in the foreground, then grouping the above CYNOBLOSSUM and
