76 THE NEW GARDENING 



double yellow, and speciosa (Newmani), orange, are 

 good ; the Scabiouses, with caucasica, blue, as the 

 principal attraction ; the Golden Rods (Solidago) with 

 tall plumes of soft yellow flowers ; the Sea Lavenders 

 (Statice), of which paniculata, lavender, is the best; 

 the Meadow rues (Thalictrum) with graceful foliage ; 

 the Wood Lily (Trillium grandiflorum) , a lovely dwarf 

 white-flowered plant for naturalizing in cool, moist, 

 shady places ; the Globe Flowers (Trollius), with foliage 

 resembling that of Delphiniums, dwarf, dense growers 

 and free May-bloomers ; Caucasicus Orange Globe is a 

 fine orange and europaeus a pale yellow ; the Mulleins 

 (Verbascum), of which olympicum, yellow, and 

 phoeniceum, various forms, are very fine ; and the 

 Speedwells (Veronicas), of which gentianoides, blue, 

 incana, violet, longifolia subsessilis, one of the best of 

 all blue perennials, repens, a splendid plant for the 

 rockery, and spicata, blue, are the most important. 



It would be outside the scope of the present work to go 

 into details of the culture of all the foregoing plants. 

 Nearly all thrive in any well-cultivated soil, and are 

 propagated by division in spring.
