ARDY SHRUBBY VERBENA. -itSSL. 
(Caryopteris Mnstacantkus.) This very valuable hardy autumn-bloom¬ 
ing shrubby plant is easy to grow, and blooms abundantly. Flowers 
an exquisite shade of azure blue ; blooms luxuriantly in the fall, from 
September until heavy frosts, when flowers are scarce and hardly any¬ 
thing is to be had in its color. It grows about two feet high, and 
bears fragrant feathered clusters of flowers along the stem, so that it is 
preeminently adapted for cut flowers, the blooms remaining fresh days 
after they are cut. It belongs to the same natural order as the Ver¬ 
bena, and the foliage has a pleasant, spicy odor when bruised. Price 
20c. each, 3 for 50c., 12 for $2.00.
