HOSTA, Honey bells 
A wonderful new gem for shady spots. One of the late Alex Cumming’s 
greatest achievements. Answers a great need, for it thrives in dense shade. 
Bred from the August daylily x H. lancifolia, it brings a supremely sweet 
arbutus-like odor to its family. Enchantingly fragrant, 14-inch trumpets 
of soft lavender-lilac, with white undercoat and blue pin stripes. 3-foot 
stems; huge glossy leaves. All this charm on an indestructible plant! 
Slow to increase, so buy now while supply is good. July and August. 
$1.50 each; 3 for $4.09; $14.95 per doz.
