sometimes a foot long and nearly as broad at the base, presenting an aspect of majestic grandeur 
that absolutely defies description. Entirely hardy, very free growing, a profuse bloomer and thriven 
in all soils. It should have a prominent place in every garden, not only because it is such a glorious 
shrub, but for its flowers appearing at a time when few others are to be found. It is planted in 
gre at numbers at Newport, and attracts a great deal of admiration at that well-known place. A bed 
of one hundred makes a most striking ap pearance. Each, 10c..; 3 for 28c., postpaid.
