GYPSOPHILA, Bristol Fairy. The Popular 
Baby's Breath. (Bristol Nurseries, Inc., 
1927.) This is regarded as one of the out¬ 
standing introductions among garden plants 
of recent years, and has enjoyed a tremen¬ 
dous sale, particularly among professional 
plantsmen, both here and abroad, where it 
received the coveted Award of Merit of the 
Royal Horticultural Society. Its double 
flowers are pure white, fully three times 
larger than the old Double Baby’s Breath, 
and its growth is more vigorous, established 
plants averaging 3)4 feet in height and 4 to 
5 feet across. Bristol Fairy has the added 
fine trait of producing occasional side sprays 
after the first crop in late June and July, 
continuing sporadically until severe frost. 
Good garden soil, enriched with well-de¬ 
cayed barnyard manure, and an open, 
shade-free location are its chief require¬ 
ments. Avoid strong chemical fertilizers 
and wet soil. A light mulch or covering 
applied to the heavy root-crown over win¬ 
ter is advised, and this covering should not 
be removed too early in spring. Pot-plants, 
35 cts. each, $3.50 per doz., $25 per 100.
