G. paniculata- A native of Europe. Has much to commend it. Its flowers 
are very numerous, so much so that to a casual observer, they seem almost 
inseparable. They are nearly white, borne in panicles, and give a very 
charming effect, either in the border or when used in bouquets. It is a plant 
that grows alone in any good garden soil, and is sure to be prized by all who 
try it. Summer.Seeds, 5 cts. per pkt. .15 1 25
