STEELE'S PANSY GARDENS, ''^o'klk^^'^' 



as soon as frost has left the ground and 

 continued until the flower spikes are 

 well advanced. In some seasons this dis- 

 ease will not show again, while in others 

 it may be quite prevalent. Climatic 

 conditions have much to do with its 

 spread, although seed saved from af- 

 let-ted plants probably perpetuate it. 



(Enotheras. 



The Oenotheras are handsome, harc).y 

 plants of easy culture and their flower- 

 ing season is prolonged. All are easily 

 produced from seed and succeed espe- 

 cially well in a lig'ht soil. CE. Youngii 

 carries light yellow, large, handsome 

 flowers nearly all summer. CE. fruticosa 



major is a lower-habited and stocky 

 variety, with showy, golden-yellow 

 flowers. Lamarckiana has big flowers, 

 three or four inches across, and grows 

 a yard or more in height. Missouricnsis 

 is of a prostrate habit and also carries 

 large golden flowers. In clumps, masses 

 or rows, the erect-growing ainotlieras 

 are effective. 



Polemoniums. 



The polemonium, better known by the 

 common name of Jacob's ladder, is a 

 neat and attractive hardy border plant. 

 The foliage is finely cut and the flow- 

 ers are either blue or pure white. The 

 plants grow freely from seed and make 



large clumps in a year. They attain a 

 height of two and one-half to three feet 

 and are of erect habit. P. Richardsonii 

 has sky-blue flowers and P. coeruleum 

 album is pure white. The flowering sea- 

 son is usually in June, but spikes are 

 also produced later in the season. 



Hardy Poppies. 



The oriental poppies make a most 

 gorgeous show early in the season in 

 the hardy garden. In addition to the or- 

 dinary brilliant orange-scarlet flowers 

 with black spots, there are a number of 

 other attractive colors, such as Papaver 

 Parkmanii, dark scarlet; Mrs. Perry, 

 salmon rose; Goliath, fiery rose, and
