GYPSOPHILA, Bristol Fairy. The Popular Baby’s 
Breath. (Bristol Nurseries, Inc., 1927.) This is 
regarded as one of the outstanding introductions 
among garden plants of recent years, and has enjoyed 
a tremendous sale, particularly among professional 
plantsmen, both here and abroad, where it received 
the coveted Award of Merit of the Royal Horti¬ 
cultural Society. Its double flowers are pure white, 
fully three times larger than the old Double Baby’s 
Breath, and its growth is more vigorous, established 
plants averaging 3}^ feet in height and 4 to 5 feet 
across. Bristol Fairy has the added fine trait of pro¬ 
ducing occasional side sprays after the first crop in 
late June and July, continuing sporadically until 
severe frost. Good garden soil, enriched with well- 
decayed barnyard manure, and an open, shade-free 
location are its chief requirements. Avoid strong 
chemical fertilizers and wet soil. A light mulch or 
covering applied to the heavy root-crown over winter 
is advised, and this covering should not be removed
