earliest of spring flowering plants. Its blanket of pure white 



flowers will brighten the edge of any border or a sunny 



spot in the rock garden. It is easy to grow and very hardy.

 nament in any garden is this sun loving plant from South 

 Africa. In bouquets the large flowers on their long stems 

 last well, and the buds open after they are cut. The 

 petals are white with light lilac backs; they radiate from 

 a contrasting steel blue center ringed with yellow.

ARISTOLOCHIA(Dutchman's 



Pipe) [hP-C-30ft.] One 

 of our best climbing plants. 

 Its light green but glossy 

 heart-shaped leaves over- 

 lap to form an excellent 

 screen, and they retain 

 their color throughout the 

 season. The brownish pipe- 

 shaped flowers are oddly 

 interesting. The seed 

 germinates very slowly.

 a tuft. Above its base 

 numerous stiff stems carry 

 little globes of rose-pink 

 flowers which bloom inter- 

 mittently for a long season.

 graceful bouquets. The 

 plant seems to prefer a 

 well drained soil in a sunny 

 situation.
