a perennial known as Rose Campion. 

 They thrive in any good garden soil, and 

 especially in rich, light loam. They are 

 easily propagated, the annuals by seeds and

 tpring. Among the perennials Lychnis 

 Chalcedonica, or Scarlet Lychnis, with its 



pretty scarlet verbena-like blossom, is 

 perhaps the best known. Others are L. 

 C. alba, with white flowers ; L. flos 

 Jovis ; bright rose ; L. fulgens, glowing 

 crimson ; L. Haageana, orange scarlet ;
