PHYGELIUS CAPENSIS. 
This pretty Penstemon-like plant I have found quite hardy, it having passed several winters out doors with- 
out protection. It grows from 3 to 4 feet high, and has numerous semi-herbaceous stems, each terminated by a 
long branching raceme of flowers, which are brilliant scarlet. It is a most persistent flowerer, beginning in May 
or June and continuing up to frost. This is one of the most ornamental hardy plants in cultivation. 25 cents.
