PINK 



tinted flowers that brave the frosts, and advance the summer into 

 fall, warming with their color sandy hill-sides and deserts, like 

 the glow of evening reflected on the sand, apparently all flower 

 and no leaf. Rising apparently with clean bare stems from the 

 sand, it spreads out into this graceful head of slender, rosy ra- 

 cemes, wisp-like. This little desert of less than an acre blushes 

 with it." 



NOTE. The Moss Pink, Phlox subulata, with purple-pink flowers, and 

 Phlox glaberrima, with pink or whitish flowers, will be found in the Blue 

 and Purple section (p. 235). The Mountain Laurel (p. 57) and the American 

 Rhododendron (p. 60) are frequently found bearing pink flowers. At times 

 it has been difficult to determine whether certain flowers should be described 

 in the Pink or in the Purple section. The reader should bear this in mind, 

 consulting both in dubious cases.
