This is a hardy herbaceous plant, of con- 

 siderable beauty. It is a native of the 

 Northern parts of Asia and America. Mr. 

 Douglas found it near the Columbia River. 

 With us it flowers in June. 



It may be kept in a pot, or rather in the 

 border, where it will grow stronger. It 

 will thrive in any good garden soil, and is 

 increased by dividing its roots, or by seeds.
