LIATRIS 
The sturdy long spikes of this flower are excellent for cutting or back- 
ground display in the late summer border. Liatris are among the hardiest 
and most easily grown perennials because of their ability to withstand hot 
dry weather. They bloom in late July and August at a time when color 
is needed and lacking in the border or garden. The flowers are unusual 
because they open from the tip down instead of from the base up as in most 
spiked flowers. We offer blooming size roots of the two choicest forms.
