GYPSOPHILA, Rosy Veil 
Baby’s Breath (Above) 
This lower-growing double pink Baby’s 
Breath has won wide popularity with its 
endless possibilities in the modern garden. 
Very generous in bloom, the airy sprays 
form a heavy mat of delicate pink during 
June and July, and also flower again in fall. 
The artistic sptays are invaluable for bou- 
quets in the home, particularly to set off 
other and larger blooms. Different from the 
commonly known perennial Baby’s Breath, 
the plants never become overgrown and keep 
to 18 in. tall or less. 
55c each; 3 for $1.50; 6 for $2.75 
VINCA MINOR . Myrtle 
(Above) 
Bowles Variety. ‘‘The magic carpet of all 
ground -covers!’’ Myriads of Alice-blue 
flowers form a delightful pattern against the 
luxuriant evergreen foliage. Far superior 
to the old Vinca Minor, it begins to bloom 
with the violets and repeats all season. The 
glossy foliage never rusts or turns brown. 
Ideal for banks, under trees, and in other 
shady spots; plant 8 in. apart. (50 or more 
at 100 rate.) 
3 for 90c; 10 for $2.50; 100 for $20.00
