 tlark green fohage and an abundance of brilliant scarlet

 frost. The perennial variety is most useful in the hardy 

 border and in the rock garden.

 cruciform flowers, delicately scented, are delightful in 

 small bouquets Oz. 35c

ANAGALLIS [hA-8 in.] This lovely dwarf sort is one of the 

 outstanding species with real blue flowers. The bushy 

 plants produce numerous erect stalks decorated in succes- 

 sion throughout their length by many small five petaled 



blossoms. It needs a good deal of sun.

garden.

ANCHUSA This interesting family produces nu- 

 merous graceful sprays bearing clusters of five 

 lobed flowers similar in form to the Forget- 

 me-not. The stalks and foliage are rather 

 rough and hairy. Their particular merit comes from the color

 blue. They are ornamental and make excellent cut flowers. 

 Capensis (Summer Forget-Me-Not) [hA-2ft.] This attrac- 

 tive plant bears sprays of clear, bright blue flowers with 

 white eyes. Very similar to the Forget-me-not but the 



flowers are larger and their color is brighter H oz. 40c

 ducing an abundance of flowers of deepest gentian blue in
