European form is better in every respect 
than the old Periwinkle. The foliage is 
broader, a rich glossy green of wonderful 
texture, and the plant is inclined to branch 
more from the crown, making a dense mass 
of luxuriant foliage. The flower is a trifle 
larger and a shade deeper in its rich blue 
color, blooming profusely in early spring, 
and intermittently in autumn. 25 cts. each, 
70 cts. for 3. $2.50 per doz.. $15 per 100.
