before October 15th. Blooms in June and 

 July. Is both yellow and white, but it is far 

 more attractive and satisfactory as a white 

 flower. 



ACONITUM NAPELLUS (Monkshood). 3 to 

 4 feet. Plant in October or early spring. 

 Blooms from the end of July until frost. 

 One of the most beautiful blue flowers, that 

 is not usually appreciated as it should be. 

 The individual flowers, like many little 

 caps, make a most effective note of color in 

 the border. It thrives better in partial 

 shade and should be planted where it does 

 not get the full, strong sun. The handsome 

 leaves are sometimes affected with a black 

 microbian disease, and, to avoid this, the 

 plants must be sprayed in April, May and 

 June with Bordeaux mixture. 



ANCHUSA ITALICA, DROPMORE VARIETY 

 (Sea Bugloss). 3 to 8 feet. Plant in the 

 early spring, or in the fall before October 

 15th. Blooms from about June 1st for six 

 weeks. A very healthy plant with long spikes
