wall. Spreads slowly by offsets. Let remain when once established. 

 A lovely plant but rare. 



SNAPDRAGON (Antirrhinum majus, var. Queen Victoria). 3 ft. 

 While this plant is frequently grown as an annual, blooming in August 

 if the seed is sown in April, it is also a hardy perennial, and survives 

 our severe winter with a little mulch. It bears full racemes of showy- 

 lipped flowers and is highly ornamental. Seeds are inclined to sport, 

 also the same plant does not always produce the same color of flowers 

 a second year. The only way to reproduce a true variety is by cuttings. 

 Thrives best in a light well-manured soil in full sun. In England it is 

 grown on tops of walls, but our climate is too dry. 



SPURGE. Flowering, see Euphorbia corollata. 



THOROUGHWORT, BONESET (Eupatorium perfoliatum). 3 ft. A 

 stout native plant that bears great flat heads of finely-fringed flowers. 

 Under cultivation it becomes a handsome plant for shrubbery effects. 

 Does best in rich moist soil; seeds itself. 



TRAVELER'S JOY, VIRGIN'S BOWER, WILD CLEMATIS (Clematis 

 Virginiand) . 8-25 ft. A most beautiful native vine that does well 

 under cultivation. Bears quantities of white flowers followed by fluffy 

 white seed-vessels. Thrives best in partly shaded locations with moist 

 rich soil. Self-sowing. Do not cut to the ground, as the old stems are 

 often alive in the spring several feet up from the ground, though they 

 may look dead. 



TRITELEIA LAXA, see Star Flower. 



WILD CARROT (Daucus carota). 2 ft. A troublesome weed of the 

 most delicate beauty, with fern-like foliage, and lacy heads of minute 

 white flowers, followed by curious seed-vessels that look like a green 

 bird's nest. Commonly called Queen Anne Lace. If the seed-vessels 

 are not allowed to scatter, this plant can easily be kept within bounds. 

 It is a biennial, and self-sowing. Very attractive planted with blue 

 Larkspur, Rudbeckia, Stokesia, Bergamot, or any showy flowers that 

 bloom through August. 



YUCCA, see Adam's Needle.
