NEW GYPSOPHILA "BODGERI" 
(See Illustration) 
Destined, we believe, to become as popular as the well-known Gypsophila 
"Bristol Fairy." You can cut flowers with 12-inch stems and the beauty 
about this new plant is that it does not seem to have a rest period, bloom¬ 
ing all summer long. Opening white, the blooms change in a few days 
to flesh pink. In cool weather in the fall all flowers are bright pink. 
Perfectly hardy and highly recommended for cutting.
