DIELYTRA, or DICENTRA 



Spectabilis (Bleeding Heart, or Seal Flower). An old-fashioned favorite; its 

 long racemes of graceful heart-shaped pink flowers are always attractive: it is used 

 largely for forcing, and is perfectly at home in any part of the hardy border, 

 and especially valuable for planting in the shade. May; 2 feet.

 ornamental foliage, growing about 15 inches high, and producing its showy pink 

 flowers from April to August. 



25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; $15.00 per 100. 



DORONICUM (Leopard's Bane) 



One of the most effective very early spring flowering perennials. If placed in pots in 

 the fall they can readily be forced into flower during the winter months in the con- 

 servatory or winter garden. There are many who have only seen this as a single 

 plant, here or there in a hardy border, and have no idea of the effect it has when 

 planted in a mass. It is also a splendid flower for cutting, as it carries well and 

 stands a long time in water, opening out morning after morning, to the surprise and 

 delight of the possessor. They succeed everywhere, and should have a place in every 

 garden. Clusii. Rich yellow, 2$ to 3 inches across; 



18 to 24 inches. 

 Excelsum. Large orange-yellow; 3£ inches 



across; 24 to 36 inches.

DICTAMNUS 



(Gas Plant) 

 A very showy border perennial, 

 forming a bush about 1\ feet in 

 height, having fragrant foliage 

 and spikes of curious flowers 

 during June and July, giving off 

 on warm, sultry evenings a fra- 

 grant volatile oil, which ignites 

 when a match is applied to the 

 stem directly under the head of 

 the flowers. They require a 

 heavy, strong soil and an open 

 sunny position. It is not advis- 

 able to transplant often, as they 

 improve with age., it being one 

 of the most permanent features 

 of the hardy herbaceous border. 

 Instances are known where this

The Foxgloves, old-fashioned, dignified and stately, are wholesome company in any 

 garden. The strong flowerstalks — frequently 4 to 6 feet high — rising from rich and 

 luxuriant masses of leaves, always give an appearance of strength to the hardy border, 

 and during their period of flowering dominate the whole garden.
