and the place should be marked lest it be disturbed by accident. It 

 must have a deep well-drained soil, full sun and moisture during the 

 blooming season, and much space. The roots are large, brittle and 

 difficult to pack, and as the seeds take a year to germinate and several 

 years to develop to the point of blooming, plants are very costly. If 

 you are young and enthusiastic try raising it from the seed. After 

 several years experiment I have four young plants out of nineteen, hav- 

 ing lost several vintages through the brown cutworm. In four years 

 more I may see bloom. 



FORGET-ME-NOT (Myosotis alpestris, var. roseus). i ft. A lovely pale 

 pink variety with small yellow eye, fragrant in the evening. For cul- 

 ture, see Forget-me-not, White Per., May. 



IRIS. German (Iris Germanica, var. Queen o] the May}. A lilac 

 pink variety, see White Per., May. 



LYCHNIS. Alpine, see Campion. Alpine. 



LYCHNIS. Early, Red L. (L. dioica, var. rosea). 2 ft. (A form of 

 L. diurna.) This is a flower native to some parts of New England, but 

 under cultivation is one of my most desirable plants, making a spread- 

 ing bushy growth and the whole plant is covered with pale rose-pink 

 flowers an inch across borne in branching panicles. I have three va- 

 rieties of this; one, with broad green leaves and red woolly calyx and 

 rather small reddish pink flowers, is the least desirable; another with 

 narrower bright green leaves, somewhat rough, makes a splendid show- 

 ing; another with darker smooth green leaves and reddish stem is not 

 so good, though all are worth planting. Give a rich deep soil, full sun, 

 and water during the flowering season. By free cutting the bloom is 

 prolonged through the entire summer. 



MOSS-PINK, CREEPING PINK (Phlox sublata). 4 in. A very desir- 

 able border or bedding plant literally covered with rose-pink flow- 

 ers. For description and culture, see Phlox, Creeping, White Per., 

 May. 



PHLOX SUBLATA. Creeping Phlox, see Moss-Pink. 



POPPY. Alpine (Papaver alpinum, var. Pink), i ft. A pink variety 

 blooming from May to August. For culture, see Poppy. A Yellow 

 Per., May.

 Couronne des Roses (Double) represent a few pink varieties. For cul- 

 ture, see Tulip, White Per., May.
