lightful plant comes in lovely tones of pale rose pink and shell pink. For 
culture see C. Bells, White Per., July. 
CENTAURY, See Sabbatia. 
CHELONE, TuRTLE Heap (C. Lyoni). 2ft. A plantallied to the Pent- 
stemon, stem much-branched, bearing terminal clusters of purplish-pink 
flowers with lower lip bearded. Give a light rich soil. Propagate by 
seeds, cuttings and division of the root if done in August or September. 
If divided in spring the plants suffer. 
CoRONILLA, see Crown Vetch. 
Crown Vetcu (Coronilla varia). 14 ft. A hardy herb with smooth 
pinnate leaves, purplish-pink flowers borne in clusters of 16-20 in the 
axils of the leaves. Pinch in the plants to induce a bushy growth. Give 
a rich soil of mixed loam, leaf mold and manure. Propagate by suckers 
from roots, or seeds planted as soon as ripe. Choice. 
GeERARDIA. Hybrid variety probably derived from G. tenufolia. Said 
to be a half hardy perennial, but it survives the winter with me; leaves 
natrow, light green, stem much-branched, large tubular rose-colored 
flowers 14 in. long. Give a sheltered position in light rich soil. Native 
Gerardias are difficult to transplant for they depend upon a certain 
parasitic growth only found in pine barrens. Propagated best therefore 
by seeds. 
HottyHock (Althea rosea). 4-8 ft. Single and semi-double varie- 
ties. From a little paper of seeds of single pink hollyhock given me sev- 
eral years ago I have raised innumerable varieties in pink and cardinal 
red. The most beautiful was a pure shell pink, large and single with a 
little tuft of curled abortive petals about the center. For culture see 
Hollyhock, White Per., Aug. 
DICTAMNUS, FRAXINELLA (Dictamnus albus, var. rosea). A pink vari- 
ety not as pretty as the white. See White Per., July. 
Iris. Japanese (I. levigata[I. Kempjeri] var. Dick Webb). A rose 
variety with a yellow band at the base of petals. 
Tris (I. var. Mrs. D. E. Richardson). Double rose shading to white, 
with white center. For culture see Iris. Jap. White Per., July. 
Mattow. Tall (Malva sylvestris). 23 ft. A branching herb bearing 
sharply divided leaves and racemes of single and clustered pale pink 
flowers 2 in. across. Very showy. Propagated easily from seed. 
Thrives in any soil or situation; often escapes to the roadsides. 
Mattow. Hollyhock (Malva alcea). Said to grow 3 ft., but mine 
grows eight feet unless pinched back two or three times each season. It
