MERTENSIA— Virglnica. — The Virginia 
Bluebell is one of the loveliest of the 
early spring blooming plants. They grow 
from U to 2 ft. high, with soft, light 
green stems and foliage. The flowers are 
reddish-purple when in bud, but as the 
flowers open, they change to a lovely 
gentian-blue. They hang in drooping, 
nodding, graceful clusters and the indi¬ 
vidual flowers are funnel-shaped. It s 
blooming season is during April and May 
and prefers a shady location. 20c. each; 
$2.00 dozen.
