Perennial Plants 91 
Gypsophila • Baby’s Breath 
Paniculata. 23^ ft. Cloud-Iike masses of small white flowers. One 
of the most popular and useful plants for cutting. July. 
Repens. A dwarf trailer, excellent for cascading down the slopes of 
the rock garden. Masses of small white flowers. June, July. 
Bristol Fairy. New Double Gypsophila. With double flowers 
almost as large as the annual Baby’s Breath and every bit as white, 
as lasting, and as easily handled as the usual double sort, it is more 
valuable than either. Not only for the flowers alone, but for the 
long season over which they are produced, Bristol Fairy is a 
triumphant achievement. Unlike the old double Baby’s Breath, 
which bloomed once and was gone, and unlike the annual sort which 
had to be sown many times a season, it continues to bloom from 
early summer until hard frost. 50 cts. each; $5 per doz. 
All Gypsophilas, except where otherwise noted, 25 cts. each; 
$2.50 per doz.; $18 per 100

Helianthemum 
Rock or Sun Rose 
Dwarf evergreen shrubs of 
spreading habit, which for freedom 
of flowering and brilliancy of 
coloring are equaled by few and 
excelled by no other family of 
plants. Delighting in full sun, they 
will thrive on a hot, sunny bank 
where few other plants will exist. 
Massed on the rock garden or front 
of herbaceous border, they are the 
most gorgeous sight in the garden 
during June. These plants deserve 
the close attention of all who are 
interested in rock gardening.
