GYPSOPHILA, Rosy Veil 
Baby’s Breath 
(Bottom Row, Center) 
This lower-growing double pink Baby’s Breath 
has won wide popularity with its endless possi- 
bilities 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 sprays are invaluable for 
bouquets 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.
