Trumpet is most attractive. 
ANGEL’S TRUMPET 
2630—Datura Meteloides. A very striking 
border plant growing 2% to 3 ft. high and 
spreading to 2 or more feet. Foliage is a soft 
gray green. Creamy white trumpets 8 to 10 
inches long develop attractive large round 
prickly seed pods. This is the annual form—not 
the leggy, woody perennial—and can be used to 
fill in bare sunny spots. Just a few plants scat- 
tered through a sunny border will be very 
effective. We have seen Angel’s Trumpet 
planted in a corner by entrance steps with red 
salvia in front of it. Such spots have been most 
attractive all summer. 24 ft.

doors in May and have good cut flower material
