ARTEMISIA SILVER KING 
A Plant of Rare Beauty for Landscape or Cutting 
For landscape effect from early summer until late win¬ 
ter, Artemisia Silver King is a most outstanding plant. 
For the cut flower trade the foliage of Artemisia Silver 
King is one of the greatest values as a filler for sprays 
or designs. It matures early in the summer and quickly 
hardens to a state when it can be cut and used without 
moisture. The foliage does not wilt or shatter after hard¬ 
ening off and can be carried dry indefinitely without losing 
its color. 
It thrives in ordinary soil, growing to a height of about 
three feet in almost perfect symmetrical form. The stems 
are well branched and thickly covered with bright silver 
covered foliage, but these quickly divide into a delicate lacy 
shape with the appearance of small flower buds all over 
the branches .
