PACIFICA FLORA PLENA 
(Double Pink Baby’s Breath) 
Flamingo 
This double-flowered form of Gypsophila was found in our 
nursery among a bed of the single variety four years ago. 
We have propagated it and carefully watched its habit dur- 
ing these years. The pale pink blossoms are very dainty and 
grow in great open foamy heads, ideal for cutting. They 
work in even more charmingly between cut flowers than 
the other Baby’s Breath. The pink shade is delicate during 
warm weather. In the autumn it deepens considerably. A 
charming plant with a great future for the florist as well 
as the home garden. * Each $0.75, Doz. $7.50
