CENTRAL EXPERIMENTAL FARM 



EPIMEDIUM, L. BARRENWORT. 

 (Berberidacece.) 



A few words regarding this charming genus are desirable, as the barrenworts are 

 comparatively little grown in Canadian gardens. They bloom during the latter part 

 of May when flowers are much appreciated and when there are fewer good herbaceous 

 perennials in bloom than later on. They are graceful little plants with small delicate 

 flowers of attractive colours, and having long stems they are very useful for cutting. 

 The foliage, which has a bronzy tinge, goes well with the flowers when cut. Epime- 

 diums succeed well in average garden soil, and while they will do best in a partially 

 shaded place they give good satisfaction in bright sunlight. They may be increased 

 readily by dividing the clumps.
