DIGITALIS (Foxglove) Gloxiniaeflora [hP-3 ft.] Much of the 

 quaint charm of an old fashioned garden is created by stately 

 spires of Foxglove. Their long spikes are crowded with large 

 thimble-shaped blossoms beautifully spotted on the exposed 

 interior surfaces. They are ornamental subjects for naturalizing 

 among shrubs or in the background of a hardy border.

 rapidly, producing many heart-shaped leaves and numerous erect

 blossoms of an intense orange color. It is easily grown, blooms 

 for a long time, and the perfumed flowers are quite suitable for
