 rare but here we have one you can depend on for cutting all summer 

 and fall. When a spike is through blooming, cut it off to within a 

 few inches of the ground and another one will be produced later in 

 the season. 35 cts. each, 6 for $1.90, postpaid.

 place and they can be planted in woodlands as well as in the flower- 

 garden. Plant 6 or more in a clump. Mixed colors only. 35 cts.
