of well-developed, dark green

shady nook; not fragrant; 
forms large clumps. 15 cts.

green leaves, I to 2 feel long, 
are clustered at the base, about 
an inch wide in the center, run¬ 
ning to a sharp point, the edges 
splitting off into little hairs 1 
to 4 inches long. The flowers 
are large, creamy white, borne 
along the stalk near the top; 3 
to 6 feet high. It is an ever¬ 
green and looks well through 
the winter. Too heavy for the 
mail. Not prepaid, 35 cts.
