DlCTAMNUS 



DICTAMNUS (Gas Plant). 



A very showy border perennial, forming a bush about 2J feet in height, having 

 fragrant foliage and spikes of curious flowers during June and July, giving off on 

 warm, sultry evenings a fragrant volatile oil, which ignites when a match is applied 

 to the stem directly under the head of flowers. They require a heavy, strong soil 

 and an open, sunny position. It is not advisable to transplant often, as they improve 

 with age, it being one ^f the most permanent features of the hardy herbaceous border. 

 Instances are known where this plant has outlived father, son and grandson in the 

 same spot. (See cut.)
