FOX GLOVE, or Digitalis. 



COREOPSIS, Lanceolata. 



This liandsome perennial has grown in favor so 

 rapidly that it is now i)iobably the most popular 

 variety in cuUivation. Our own estimation of the 

 plant is such that if wo had room to plant Imt one 

 plant of this class it would surely be tiiis Golden 

 Coreopsis, which begins to flower early in June, and 

 conlinncs to Mower until cut down by severe freezinp 

 weather. It is continually one mass of golden yellow. 

 The flowers which are of graceful form are invalu- 

 able for cutting for decorative pni-poses; it is easily 

 grown, perfectly hardy, succeeding iu almost any 

 oucc bciug planted takes care of itself. Height two 



One of our special favorites. This with 

 the Double Hollyhock and Larkspur form a 

 stately trio of line, tall, growing plants; indeed 

 nothing finer can be chosen for back-gTounds, 

 center of wide borders, interspersing with 

 shrubbery, etc. If plants are not allowed to 

 seed they are crowned for months by long pyramidal 

 spikes of lovely pendent thimble shaped belis, snow- 

 white, rosy-blush, exquisitely shaded and spotted.
