) For some time past there has been t 
an active demand for a mixture of 
j the dark, bright colors in Armeria, I 
| while the strains available up to < 
9 now have been composed mostly of I 
| the light shades. This new strain | 
gives us the shades of bright pinks, 
J coral red, light red, violet and pur- | 
J pie which have been lacking. The » 
numerous flowers are large and 9 
| ball shaped, borne on strong, 16 | 
inch upright stems, excellent for 
( cutting besides making a gay ( 
splash of color in the rockery in | 
early summer. Perfectly hardy. We I 
| recommend this Armeria to all gar- | 
I deners. .
