tap root goes to sleep and sleeps through Winter, and while they 

 sleep they may be successfully transplanted. You probably will not 

 find all these varieties listed in all the catalogues, but I will tell 

 you where all of them may be secured. 



If there is a place in your garden that is moist and in semi- 

 shade, enhance it by planting Trollius (Globe-flowers), the new hy- 

 brids of Trollius. There are several of them, all so worthy of a 

 home in some part of our gardens, by the pool or stream, bearing 

 company to the blue and the gold Japanese Iris and the Forget-me- 

 nots Palustris semperHorens. 



Heuchera hybrids must be planned for, so rarely lovely are 

 they, and, what is more, they are so unusual, so uncommon, so 

 infrequently seen except in the well-considered gardens. Bri- 

 zoides gracillima, a rose-pink, Cascade, a soft pink with quaintest 

 red anthers, Rosamunde, a coral, and Virginale, a wax white, are 

 decidedly new, while Sanguinea and Alba, although not new, are 

 most deserving. The Aconitum brings to our gardens in late 

 Summer and Autumn all the blue furnished in early Summer by 

 the Delphiniums. It is a wide range of blue, too, with the Sparks 

 variety, a real blue violet, and Wilsonii, a pure pale blue ; both 

 the Sparks and Wilsonii grow nearly six foot tall. Then there is 

 Napellas, blue and white. There is a golden and good white, 

 both of them novelties; the golden variety is Lycoctonum, the 

 white is Napellus album. The foliage of all of these Aconitums 

 is lacey, and a fitting position for them is near the Japanese 

 Anemones.
