lightful plant comes in lovely tones of pale rose pink and shell pink. For 

 culture see C. Bells, White Per., July. 



CENTAURY, see Sabbatia. 



CHELONE, TURTLE HEAD (C. Lyoni) . 2 ft. A plant allied to the Pent- 

 stemon, stem much-branched, bearing terminal clusters of purplish-pink 

 flowers with lower lip bearded. Give a light rich soil. Propagate by 

 seeds, cuttings and division of the root if done in August or September. 

 If divided in spring the plants suffer. 



CORONILLA, see Crown Vetch. 



CROWN VETCH (Coronitta varid). 1} ft. A hardy herb with smooth 

 pinnate leaves, purplish-pink flowers borne in clusters of 16-20 in the 

 axils of the leaves. Pinch in the plants to induce a bushy growth. Give 

 a rich soil of mixed loam, leaf mold and manure. Propagate by suckers 

 from roots, or seeds planted as soon as ripe. Choice. 



GERARDIA. Hybrid variety probably derived from G. tenufolia. Said 

 to be a half hardy perennial, but it survives the winter with me; leaves 

 narrow, light green, stem much-branched, large tubular rose-colored 

 flowers i in. long. Give a sheltered position in light rich soil. Native 

 Gerardias are difficult to transplant for they depend upon a certain 

 parasitic growth only found in pine barrens. Propagated best therefore 

 by seeds. 



HOLLYHOCK (Althea rosed). 4-8 ft. Single and semi -double varie- 

 ties. From a little paper of seeds of single pink hollyhock given me sev- 

 eral years ago I have raised innumerable varieties in pink and cardinal 

 red. The most beautiful was a pure shell pink, large and single with a 

 little tuft of curled abortive petals about the center. For culture see 

 Hollyhock, White Per., Aug. 



DICTAMNUS, FRAXINELLA (Dictamnus albus, var. rosed) . A pink vari- 

 ety not as pretty as the white. See White Per., July. 



IRIS. Japanese (7. lavigata [7. Kcempferi} var. Dick Webb}. A rose 

 variety with a yellow band at the base of petals. 



IRIS (7. var. Mrs. D. E. Richardson). Double rose shading to white, 

 with white center. For culture see Iris. Jap. White Per., July. 



MALLOW. Tall (Malva sylvestris) . 2% ft. A branching herb bearing* 

 sharply divided leaves and racemes of single and clustered pale pink 

 flowers 2 in. across. Very showy. Propagated easily from seed. 

 Thrives in any soil or situation; often escapes to the roadsides. 



MALLOW. Hollyhock (Malva diced). Said to grow 3 ft., but mine 

 grows eight feet unless pinched back two or three times each season. It
