Allium oxyphilum is one of the best of the native Alliums. 
It produces heads of good sized snow white flowers like tiny 
lilies on thread like pedicels that droop in graceful fashion. 
From Virginia mountains. A “‘shale-barren"’ endemic. Acid 
soil. $1.00 

Amsonia ciliata "Alice’’. An extra fine variety of this little known 
but very handsome plant. It bears dense heads of well 
formed salver shaped flowers of clear Alice Blue. The 10-15 
inch stems are well clothed with leaves no wider than a 
blade of grass. It is a splendid plant for the Rock Garden 
and does best in full sun and a poor soil. From Georgia. Acid 
soil. $5.00 
Amsonia ciliata tenuifolia ‘“Aquamarine”’ is undoubtedly one of 
the loveliest plants. Although it is a dwarfer variety than 
Amsonia ciliata, the flowers are larger and quite circular 
and the color is an enchanting rare shade of acquamarine 
blue. The rooting shoots spread underground and at all 
seasons its wide mass of feathery green is ornamental. Its 
growth habit is quite different from Amsonia ciliata and it 
may be given specific rank. From Georgia. Acid soil. $5.00 
Amsonia ciliata tenuifolia ‘“Whitecap’’. A white flowered variety 
of delicate beauty. From Georgia. Acid soil. Fall del’y. $5.00 
Artemisia sp. A most useful and fast growing ground cover with 
attractive aromatic gray green foliage. It grows only a few 
inches high and makes a neat carpet so dense no soil is 
visible. It was found on the coast of the Gaspe some years 
ago but may not be native to America. So far it has not been 
identified. Neutral soil. $1.06 
Aster speciabilis is one of the gems of a big family. The large 
bright violet flowers show up conspicuously late in autumn. 
It is a compact grower with neat leaf rosettes. Nice for the 
Rock Garden, in front of foundation planting or a sunny spot 
in the Wild Garden. Height 8-12 inches and it is good enough 
to be an “indispensable”. A fine variety. From the New Jer- 
sey Pine Barrens. Acid Soil. $1.00
