MYOSOTIS (Forget.Me-Not). 



Few spring flowers are more admired than the lovely Forget-Me-Nots. 

 which are especially effective when grown in masses. Perennials are hardy 

 if given slight protection through the winter. Seed may be sown any time 

 from spring till niid-sumnier. The Alpestris varieties and Dissitiflora come 

 into bloom in April, and are largely used for bedding or borders in con- 

 nection with spring-flowering bulbs, Pansies, etc. The Palustris sorts do 

 not bloom till JNIay, but continue till fall. per pkt.
