the best all around decorative plants. Its 
bright silver-colored stems and foliage 
are of great value as a filler for bou¬ 
quets, sprays, baskets, or all sorts of 
floral pieces. By cutting and drying the 
stems it is very valuable in the winter 
for filler. Florists in our districts paid

an outstanding forcing plant for Spring

plant will draw the eyes of everyone while

producing 8 to 12 heavy spikes of dark 
salmon-carmine flowers about 12 to 14

tractive in Astilbes. Strong established 
clumps.
