154 PWMILIAR FLOWERS OF FIELD AND GARDEN. 



single varieties I do not fancy ; they are artificial- 

 looking, but withal rather decorative. The double 

 flowers are splendid in golden yellow and yellowish 

 white, and the plants bloom with 

 prodigal liberality. Of the single 

 varieties I consider ^urridgeanum, 

 which is white with a crimson band 

 and yellow toward the center, the 

 most attractive. 



Love-in-a-Mist, Love - in - a - mist is 

 Mgeiia Damascena. a peculiar character 

 with wiry or misty foliage — which- 

 ever you please to call it — and white 

 or pale violet-white flowers which 

 curiously nestle beneath the fine foli- 

 age. It is rather a strange than a 

 beautiful flower, but it deserves a 

 place in the garden for variety's sake. It blooms 

 throughout the summer, and is an annual which 

 has long been a favorite with those who have a 

 taste for the old-fashioned. 



Love-in a-Mist.
