PHOENICEUM. Very attractive border plant,

PINK DOMINO 
This is the demand leader in the entire 
range of Verbascum varieties. The color 
of each floret over-all is as delicate and 
pleasing a shade of soft rose pink as it 1s 
possible to imagine. Immediately in the 
center of each floret there is a spot of 
this same rose pink in a shade so deep 
that there is an effective contrast cre- 
ated, giving each floret a distinct defin- 
ition as a single little flower in_ itself. 
The habit of growth is picturesque indeed, 
with the tall, rugged, branchy spikes 
rising out of the foliage so arranged that 
it is an almost symmetrical half sphere. 
Grows to 3 feet and more, blooms vigor- 
ously from June until September, and can 
be depended on to lend continuous en- 
chantment as the fundamental background 
in any border planting. Fine for cutting.
