SS] ano PERENNIAL PLANTS: TT 
DICTAMNUS (Gas Plant). 
A very showy border perennial, forming a bush about 23 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 im- 
__-prove with age, it being oneof the most permanent features of the hardy herba- 
= ceous border. Instances are known where this plant has out- 
4 lived father, son and grandson in the same spot. (See cut.)
