\ genus of very hardy Herbaceous perennials of 

 more "than ordinary merit. A bed of these Plants, when 

 in full bloom in early summer, is one of the most fetriK- 

 ing and pleasing sights one can imagine. So pro-

 from 2 to 3 'inches in diameter, some of them even 

 larger. White, pink and red are the predominating 

 ooloVs. They are especially valuable for cutting, the

 these plants. Each, 25c; per doz., $2.50.
