An exceedingly at- 

 tractive and effective 

 shrubby plant with

DIGITALIS OR FOXGLOVES. 



not so strong a grower, 

 doz., $2.00; 100, $15.00. 



DICENTRA (Dielytra.) 



Bleeding Heart. 



These old fashioned summer flowering plants are al- 

 ways handsome and showy. Their large tubula.- flowers 

 are thickly clustered on tall spikes and are produced in 

 great profusion; ranging in color from purple to white 

 with throats variously spotted and colored. Properly 

 planted in mass with i.n appropriate background, noth- 

 ing is more effective and striking when in bloom. When 

 Sweet Williams are planted with them as a foreground 

 the eflfect is truly delightful. The foliage is so large, 

 fresh Icoking and abundant; growing in massive clumps, 

 the plants are decidedly attractive, even when there are 

 no flowers upon them. They succeed everywhere; 

 three to four feet; biennial in habit. 



Those I offer are of the improved large flowered 

 Gloxinaeflora strain. I have them in rose colored, pur- 

 ple and pure white, separate and in all colors mixed.
