EUPHORBIACEAE 
Sarcococca Hookeriana humilis. Erect much-branched evergreen shrub; 
decorative smooth narrow leaves and red stems; flowers in late win¬ 
ters; fruit dark-blue. Small plants 50c. 
GENTIANACEAE 
From the gentian family we have some of the most lovely bog and 
rock garden plants; plants of most dazzling blue. Some are among 
the most stubborn of subjects; others are entirely amenable. All will 
grow in the open; most will have their roots cool. If you cannot offer 
this shade will compensate to some extent. Heavy rich soil. They 
fill a definite want for it is in late summer and fall, till frost cuts 
them, that they are most glorious. 
Fauria Crista-gal I i. Large somewhat cupped leaves; spikes of white bells 
filled with hairs; loves boggy conditions. Japan. 50c.

small and not wide-open flowers. 50c. 
G. albida sibirica. From a basal tuft of thick narrow leaves arise flower¬ 
ing stems of 4-8 in. bearing 1-4 flowers, each 1^ in. long, whitish with
