Buddleias, growing about 24 inches in height,

tion than ordinary plant material. We highly

for landscape plantings.

GYPSOPHILA 
Baby’s Breath 
BRISTOL FAIRY. This plant is well known for 
its true value as a filler in all types of floral 
work. Due to the unusually heavy demand that

ally large quantities. For this fall's sales, as

roots at a reasonable price.

FLAMINGO. It has the same habit of growth 
and flowering as the well known Bristol Fairy. 
It is a prolific bloomer; the first flowers, vary¬ 
ing from light pink to white appear in June and 
July. If these are cut, the plants will produce 
a second crop the first part of September and 
due to the cooler nights at that time, from 
thereon the flowers come a very good shade 
of lilac pink. These are very neat in appear¬ 
ance and when used in floral pieces they 
really create a very high class effect.

Colorado Gypsophila flowers for many years to

ROSY VEIL. In character it is in every way 
like the very popular Bodgeri, except that this 
variety comes out a very pretty pronounced 
pink, making a wonderful companion for the 
preceding. Rosy Veil is very valuable in floral 
work for very often this shade of pink will add 
the finishing touch to set off a design in beauti¬ 
ful style. Furthermore, by having both Bodgeri 
and Rosy Veil as fillers, you can create alto¬ 
gether different effects.
