IN THE FRONT YARD. 119 



intense blue. I am liighlj pleased with it, and saw it 

 growing at Brandon, Manitoba, so you can depend on 

 it anywhere. There is another branch of the family 

 with snowy white flowers which are exceedingly beauti- 

 ful. These I am sure will give satisfaction. 



The Digitalis or Foxglove should not be omitted. 

 They have long flower stems, blossoms are purple and 

 white. The grandiflora has yellow blossoms. 



The Dicentra or Bleeding Heart is a very hardy 

 plant with a profusion of heart shaped flowers in the 

 spring. They are beautiful in the morning when, in 

 full bloom, the sun shines on them. 



The Exima is everblooming, while the first men- 

 tioned bloom early and then the foliage becomes dingy ; 

 the latter keeps fresh, growing and blooming all sum- 

 mer. It is very hardy and as it multiplies from the 

 I'oot rapidly one root would soon give an abundance. 

 Yon take up both kinds either in the spring or fall and 

 divide and replant as you would paeonies. 



THE EUDBECKIA OR GOLDEN" GLOW. 



This is a native of Xorth Carolina, but is hardy every- 

 where. Care must be taken to keep it in bounds or it 

 becomes a weed. The clumps should not be allowed 

 to become too large for then the flowers will be small. 

 The tall stems need some support. These should be 

 set in the background of the border. They are too large 

 for tlie front. 



The Campanula or Bluebells should not be forgot- 

 ten.
