CLEMATIS, WILD, see Traveler's Joy. 



CHRYSANTHEMUM MAXIMUM. 3 ft. This plant makes a magnificent 

 bushy growth, bearing flowers about three times as large as the common 

 white daisy. It blooms for many weeks if the seed-vessels are not al- 

 lowed to form. Grows in any good soil in full sun. Propagated easily 

 from self-sown seed or division of the root. 



CHRYSANTHEMUM LATIFOLIUM. 3 ft. A variety coming perhaps two 

 weeks later than C. maximum; is, if anything, a better plant with 

 broader leaves, larger flowers and more prolonged bloom. 



I had still another variety that had a sort of frilled row of petals 

 notched at the outer edge that was more desirable than either of the 

 other two, and seemed to be a sort of C. latijolium, or derived from a 

 stray seed of the Shasta daisy. 



DAISY. Great Oxeye (Chrysanthemum uliginosum). 2-4 ft. A 

 graceful variety with slender bending stalks, bearing loose terminal 

 clusters of white flowers, leaves sharply toothed, sessile. Propagate by 

 seeds and division. 



EUPHORBIA, FLOWERING SPURGE (E. corottatd). z\ ft. A very sat- 

 isfactory plant bearing a broad open cyme of snow-white leafy append- 

 ages that are taken for flower petals, borne on long branching stems. 

 Desirable for cutting or graceful addition to a red or pink bed. Give a 

 rich loam and partial shade. Propagated by division of strong plants, 

 but does best when well established. 



FEVERFEW, PELLITORY (Chrysanthemum parthenium fl. pi.). 2 ft. A 

 plant having a strong aromatic smell, making a bushy growth and 

 bearing numerous clusters of white rayed flowers with yellowish cen- 

 ters. This, like all other white rayed flowers, adds variety and grace to 

 beds of a single color. Propagated by self-sown seed. While hardy 

 through severe winters, the young growth is tender under late spring 

 frosts. Does well in any good soil and any location. If pruned low 

 makes a good edging. 



FOXGLOVE. Woolly (Digitalis lantana}. 2 ft. A biennial form of 

 Foxglove of no great beauty; rather coarse leafy plant with curious 

 brownish-white spotted flowers an inch long on terminal racemes. Not 

 especially desirable. Moist light soil, partial shade. Propagate by seed 

 and division. 



FRAXINELLA, GAS PLANT (Dictamnus fraxinella, var. albus). 2 ft. An 

 aromatic herb bearing showy flowers in long terminal racemes. When 

 bruised has a balsam smell or like lemon peel; emits a volatile fragrance
