large, and appear from mid-summer until 
fall in generous numbers. Likes a shady 
place, and in Nebraska. and from here 
North it should have a heavy mulch for 
winter-protection. It cannot stand lower 
than Zero without protection. In soil which 
contains a slight amount of Alkali the 
flowers are pink, but as soon as the soil is 
acidized in any way, the blossoms will be 
pretty sky-blue. Adding about 1 table- 
spoonful of Aluminium Sulphate (from the 
drug store) to the soil at planting time, will 
produce the nice blue color. Any soil in a 
shady location, with plenty of moisture, and 
leaf-mold in the soil to contain natural 
acid, will produce the blue color without 
further aid. 2-yvear-old nice shrubs, the 
strongest on the market this year, $1.25 
each. Winter protection of this shrub may 
consist of a heavy mulch of leaves, or 
straw, to be applied in late fall, when the 
soil hegins to freeze.
