HOSTAS OR PLANTAIN-LILIES 
The Hostas are excellent for edging borders, mass planting or 
in front of shrubbery. If you have a shady spot under trees that 
seems devoid of interest, then by all means try some of these 
interesting plants for they are at their best grown in such a loca- 
tion where their large sturdy leaves seem almost tropical in growth 
and very decorative. The racemes of bell like flowers of lilac, 
blue lavender, and white rise well above the foliage. 
HOSTA CAERULEA The true variety has the bluest flowers of 
any of the Hostas. It is the next largest in size of flower to H. 
plantaginea with very round puffed out bells of lavender blue dis- 
tinctly penciled on the inner surface with deeper color. The leaves 
are glossy green of large size and graceful form. Use for border 
planting with pale yellow Hemerocallis in the background. July- 
-August. 3 ft. $ .50 
HOSTA DECORATA This variety has rather small oval leaves 
margined white and make lovely rosettes of leaves with lavender 
purple blooms veined white extending at right angles from two 
foot stalks. Early August. $1.50 
HOSTA FORTUNEI var. marginato alba. The most decorative 
of the variegated Hostas. The large glossy green leaves with broad 
irregular margins of pure white are tall and arching and sweep 
over to the ground in the most graceful manner. Pale lavender, 
almost white flowers rise well above the foliage. Exceptionally 
lovely planted in moist shady places. July-August. 3 ft. $1.00 
HOSTA FORTUNEI var. viridis marginata. A very attractive 
and unusual variety with large pointed leaves of light green with 
a definite broad margin of dark green. The bell shaped flowers 
are pinkish in color and are carried on two foot scapes. Entirely 
different and most effective. July. 2 ft. $2.00
