NEW WHITE BLEEDING HEART 
DICENTRA *eximia Snowsprite—An exquisite new variety 
Originating at our gardens and offered for the first time. 
The buds are the color of old ivory and open into snowy 
white pendant jewels hung in translucent sp!endor on grace- 
fully nodding 12 to 18 inch stems. The foliage is cut and 
cut again into many lacy divisions and makes an ideal back- 
ground for the virginal flowers. The leaves possess that cool 
greenness which is so characteristic of ferns and other wood- 
land plants. Snowsprite blooms from mid-Spring onwards 
for many, many weeks. It is absolutely hardy from Maine 
to California and is not demanding in its culture. Give 
Snowsprite a loamy soil with ample humus and water while 
it is in active growth. In northern sections with relatively 
cool Summers this variety thrives in full sun or light shade. 
In hotter and drier areas more shade and moisture will make 
Snowsprite perform beautifully year after year. Order this 
exciting novelty for your perennial border, rock garden, or 
woodland planting. From pots, each $1.15, postpaid.
