flowers. Give any good soil and propagate by seeds, or division of the 

 root in spring or autumn. June to September. 



DIANTHUS, see Pink. 



FOXGLOVE (Digitalis purpurea, var. gloxina flora) . 3-4 ft. A pale 

 pink variety with white throat spotted with red. It is much more beau- 

 tiful in color than the common purplish-red Foxglove. Give a rich soil, 

 sun and water during the blooming season. Cut back the plant 

 when done blooming to induce a later crop of flowers. Increased 

 by seed. I do not recommend the planting of offshoots formed at 

 the root, for such plants are not so vigorous as new seedlings. Self- 

 sowing. 



GILLENIA, see Bowman's Root. 



HELIANTHEMUM, see Sun Rose. 



INCARVILLEA, HARDY GLOXINIA (7. Ddavayi). 2 ft. A showy plant 

 with coarse pinnate radical leaves which grow two feet long, and bears 

 several terminal clusters of handsome large tubular deep rose-colored 

 flowers. The root is tuberous and suffers from drought. Give a deep 

 rich well-drained soil, partial shade. Propagate by seed and careful 

 division of the root. Leaves die down in summer. 



LUPINE (Lupinus polyphyllus, var. roseus). 3 ft. A pink variety of 

 this strikingly beautiful plant. For culture, see Lupine, White Per., 

 June. Also blue and yellow varieties. 



LUPINE (L. Douglasii). 3 ft. A new variety which is a cross between 

 the annual and perennial Lupines, blooming the first season from seed, 

 if planted early. Also blue and white varieties. 



LYCHNIS. Viscid (L. viscaria splendent). 3 ft. Makes a low broad 

 tuft of narrow leaves and sends up several reddish stalks clammy or 

 sticky at the joints, bearing showy heads of rose-pink flowers. Give 

 any good soil. It is self-sowing and is best propagated by seeds. The 

 young seedlings so closely resemble the common weed sorrel that one 

 must not mistake them when weeding. 



MOUNTAIN FRINGE, see Allegheny Vine. 



PEONY (P&onia, oflicinalis, var. rosea). A very early variety. 



PEONY (P. albaflora, var. fragrantissima). } A very fragrant kind.

PEONY (P. var. Humeii rosea). The latest to bloom; these are but 

 a few of many hybrid varieties in pink, single and double, some fra-
