HOSTAS OR PLANTA LILIES 
The Hostas are excellent for edging 
borders, mass, planting or in front of 
shrubbery. If you have a shady spot 
under trees that seems devoid of inter- 
est, then by all means try some of these 
interesting plants for they are at their 
best grown in such a location where 
their large sturdy leaves seem almost 
tropical in growth and very decorative. 
The racemes of bell like flowers of lilac, 
blue lavender, and white rise well above 
the foliage. 
Shipment Early Spring or Early Fall
