PENSTEMON. 



PENSTEMON BARBA- 

 TUS TORREYI. A mag- 

 nificent plant for the border, 

 very showy, and there are 

 few hardy perennials that 

 are more attractive or valu- 

 able than this. It is a tall- 

 growing plant with erect 

 stems on which are displayed 

 long, loose panicles of bril- 

 liant scarlet tiowers all sum- 

 mer: producing a bright and 

 charming effect. It is par- 

 ticularly gorgeous and eli ect- 

 ive when planted against 

 shrubbery. The plant is of 

 the easiest culture, and the 

 blooms are excellent also for 

 cutting.

This, is a mammoth 

 form of the winter 

 cherry from Japan.

 large fruit the size of 

 a plum, encased in 

 balloon - shaped 

 calyxes, like minia- 

 ture Chinese lan- 

 terns, and of a bril- 

 liant orange-red 

 color. The fruit of 

 Pliysalis keeps for 

 months in the win-

 tions. The plants I

 grown. Seed, pkt.,
