sight, with large, flat crimson flowers against dense, dark green foli¬ 
age. Blooms continuously during summer and makes a fine shrub for

or lateral appears, continuing the display of blooms long after the 
main flower head has disappeared. The clearness of color is remark¬ 
able, and the brilliancy of the flower is very pronounced. The blooms 
last over 2 weeks when cut and brought inside. An excellent cut 
flower and a shrub that should be in every foundation or border 
planting. 1 1/2 to 2 ft., 40c; 2 to 3 ft., 50c; 
3 to 4 ft., 65c; 4 to 5 ft., 85c

Korea, where a plant must be hardy to succeed. The broad panicles 
of white flowers are carried on the ends of long, arching branches, 
excellent for cutting. Plant it anywhere you want an extremely hardy, 
vigorous, and free-flowering shrub. 2 to 3 ft., 40c; 3 to 4 ft., 50c
