BLUE PEARL 
An exquisite spring perennial which should 
be represented in every garden. The jewel- 
studded baby blue flower-heads above the 
foliage, 12 to 15 in. tall, are formed by a lovely 
mass of airy blossoms, making a magic carpet 
of cool color to show off taller warm-colored 
flowers. From early spring on into June, there 
are as many as six to eight flower stems grow- 
ing oneach plant. The clean dark green foliage 
forms a decorative tuft about 5 in. high, a fine 
garden ornament in itself; the many interesting 
leaflets become a showy cushion right up 
until frost.
