most striking and graceful shrub, is 
easily grown. Planted as a single

the yard, or planted alongside the

Jate summer and fall, it is entirely 
eovered with a curious fringe of fine, 
purplish, misty-looking flowers which 
give the plant a smoky appearance. 
Grows 10 to 12 feet high, and requires 
plenty of space for development to its 
fullest beauty. July to August. Each, 
1-11 ft., 69e; 3 for $1.87; 6 for $3.45.
