GYPSOPHILA paniculata. Baby’s Breath. A native 
of Europe. Has much to recommend 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. N.,

8 cts. each, 70 cts. per doz. Seeds, 5c. per pkt. 
GENTIANA. Gentian. This group comprises some 
of the most admirable hardy plants. Most of 
them require much moisture while in growth, 
and on this account they often fail. I have 
recently been growing them in moist, shaded 
situations in sandy loam with good results. 
Though moisture is necessary, drainage is also 
needed. They like a deep, loamy soil, with 
stones intermixed. 
G. alba. Rather stout, with flowers in a terminal 
cluster; dull white, tinged with yellow or green. 
A native of low grounds or mountain 
meadows. N., 20 cts. each; P., 25 cts.
