THE SUMMER ROSECUP 
The color is though, rather a pink than a rose, a pink 
with an effulgent glowing quality about it that still scarcely 
carries it beyond what we have held as pink, but gives it 
simply a more alluring attractiveness. The blossoms are 
wide cups, three inches across, carried in superlative pro¬ 
fusion week after week, month after month, without a 
pausing. Here the display starts in April. This still decid¬ 
edly rare plant is Oenothera Kunthiana. It winters safely 
without any protection at Philadelphia, and likely also 
very much farther north. The flowers are open all day. 
Everyone who sees it, falls in love with the Summer Rose- 
cup. It has, by the way, been suggested as a Winter win¬ 
dow plant. We don’t know how that would work out, 
but it’s an idea that might be worth the testing. Plants, 
each 60c; 3 for $1.50. 
CERATOSTIGMA 
Here is indigo vividness, or perhaps it’s azure, for who 
shall draw the line between. Blossoms of a clean blue bril¬ 
liance hide the ten inch mounds of plants, from mid-sum¬ 
mer until early Autumn. Then the flowers fall, and the 
hidden red calyces emerge to give a warm glow to cold 
days. Good foliage, plants decorative throughout the year. 
It comes from depths of China. Of fully proved winter 
hardiness. Plants, each 35c; 3 for 90c.
