blue, heavily silvered flowers that first open up as a disk on 16” 
stems, looking just like a flying saucer, later opening out to full, 
licorice scented balls of bloom. We obtained our seed from Tibet, 
and this is the first offer of this plant in this country. It starts 
blooming the first of August and keeps on blooming all through the 
fall until it is covered with snow. You may have seen its close 
cousin, P. capitata ss. Mooreana, and in our opinion this plant is 
far superior in every way. It is fully hardy to both winter and full 
summer sun here on Puget Sound, but it should have protection for 
its evergreen leaves elsewhere. Plant it among the shrubs, in a 
shaded spot in the perennial border where it will receive plenty of 
water, or in the rockery. 
P. CHIONANTHA (SNOW PRIMROSE) 1.00 each 
A gorgeous, waxy white plant, with beautiful erect foliage, bloom- 
ing about 18” tall in June. Truly a honey of a plant for a very moist, 
well shaded spot; it will get admiration from everyone who sees it. 
P. COCKBURNIANA .75 each 
For my money this is one of the loveliest of the candelabras. It 
has a lovely red copper bloom that is seldom seen in flowers, and is 
not as tall as some of the others, growing only about 24”, blooming 
in June. Demands good air drainage and good soil drainage. It is 
at its best in the rockery as a speciman plant, or naturalized on a 
lightly shaded slope. 
P. COLUMNEA .75 each 
This plant is sometimes listed as a subspecie of P. veris, the “Cow-
