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

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 FORTUNE! 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 FORTUNE! 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 
HOSTA LANCIFOLIA var. albo marginata. This narrow leaved 
variety is a rapid grower with long light green leaves with a nar- 
The purple flowers are penciled with 
row border of pure white.

white and rise well above the foliage. 
July. 1% ft. $ .50 
HOSTA LANCIFOLIA var. fortis. One of the more narrow 
leaved varieties of later blooming habit than most of the Hostas. 
The medium lavender bells are more flaring and rise well above 
the waxy green foliage. August-September. 2 ft. $ .50 
HOSTA MINOR ALBA Dainty and charming this rare variety 
has pure white blooms well spaced on the strong but slender 
flowering stalks. A gem for border planting. Aug. 15 in. $2.00 
HOSTA PLANTAGINEA The largest flowered variety of the 
group with long tubular flowers of pure white carried well above 
the large light green leaves. The flowers are sweetly scented, and 
it is lovely planted as accents on the border of a terrace or out 
door living room. Late August. 2% it. $ .75 
HOSTA SIEBOLDIANA The true variety is the most rare arid 
handsome of the Hostas. The large, broad rounded leaves are 
overlaid with a heavy grey blue lustre that reminds one of the 
thick frost crystals found on windows after a cold wintry night. 
The creamy pale lavender flowers have heavy substance and are 
borne on short clustered scapes. Plant in shade. Too much can- 
not be said in praise of this silvery foliaged plant. June-July.

ruffled leaves of light green, splashed with creamy white. Interest- 
ing on account of the unusual coloring of the leaves. $ .35

leaves are very decorative with wide creamy white bands on the 
center of the leaves. The lavender flowers are borne on wiry scapes 
well above the foliage. True variety rather rare and excellent in 
in front of shrubbery. July. 1% ft. $1.00
