1s H. A. ZAGER GROWER 

The blunt plantain-lily 
(Hosta decorata). 
HOSTA DECORATA—The blunt plan- 
tain-lily has blunt dark green leaves 
with white edges. The leaves are 
about one foot high and the blade 
about five inches by three inches. In 
a couple of years a small plant makes 
a rosette of leaves two feet across. 
This rosette of leaves of green and 
white coloring forms an excellent end 
for a flower bed against a lawn as the 
outer leaves bend to the ground. The 
flowers, in the early part of August, 
are fat bells standing out at right 
angles on a two-foot stalk. The blos- 
soms of purple have lines of white, 
so that the effect is not a solid color. 
There is a sturdy, substantial feeling 
to this plant.
