I>ELImiVITJM:. NAT. ORD., Ranunculace*. 



A highly ornamental genus of splendid profuse-flowering plants, of an unusually high 

 decorative character. When planted in large beds or groups, their gorgeous spikes of flow- 

 ers, of almost endless shades, from pearl-white to the very richest and deepest blue, render 

 them the most conspicuous and sinking objects in the flower-garden or pleasure-ground. 

 They delight in a deep, highly enriched soil. With the exception of Delphinium Cardio-* 

 petalum, they are all hardy perennials.

The Digitalis are too well known to need description. They are all useful and ornamental 

 for general flower-garden purposes, and may be introduced into the shrubbery with fine 

 effect, as their tall, spire-like spikes, crowned with their large thimble or bell-shaped flowers, 

 will contrast finely with the green foliage of the shrubs. They are all hardy biennials, 

 from three to four feet high.
