 numbers in every northern and mountainous country, wliich

 certain seasons handsome, Altlueas, Angelica with its fine 

 foliage, the herliaceous kinds of Aralia from the American 

 woods, also with fine foliage, the Wormwood family

 vigorous species of Astragalus, certain of the larger species of 

 Betonica, pretty, and with delicate flowers, but hardly fit for
