plants in our garden and the demand for a sup-

loving plant that blooms in the winter, for the 
Lent season out of doors and for Christmas in- 
doors. The foliage is like that of a peony, to 
which it is related, and the large nodding flow-

to- purple. The flowers age to a lovely shade of 
green and stay on the plant for several weeks.
