DOROIVICUM (Leopard's Bane). 



One of the most effective very early spring-flower- 

 ing perennials, growing about 2 feet high. If placed 

 in pots in the fall, they can readily be forced into

 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.
