most intriguing patterns. Terminal clusters of from 3 to 5 
lavender star-shaped flowers are borne from early summer 
until mid-winter. 5-6 ft. Sun or shade. Hardy, except in 
very cold area. 5-gal. containers, $1.70; gal. containers, 50c.

PORTUGUESE SUN ROSE 
Helianthemum lasianthum. Silver gray foliaged shrub to

happily surprised to find it right back on the job again.
