A highly ornamental genus of splendid profuse-flowering plants, of an unusually high 

 decorative character. When planted in large beds or groups, their gorgeous spikes of flow- 

 ers, of almost endless shades, from pearl-white to the very richest and deepest blue, render 

 them the most conspicuous and striking objects in the flower-garden or pleasure-ground. 

 They delight in a deep, highly enriched soil. With the exception of Delphinium Cardio- 

 petalum, they are all liardy perennials.

The Digitalis are too well known to need description. They are all useful and ornamental
