 ferous, blooming from early in July until late in September. We

Hypericum (St. John's Wort) 



Most desirable border plants of free and graceful habit pro- 

 ducing long slender much branched stems, leafy to the base and 

 all drooping towards the ends, apparently from the weight of the 

 flowers and buds, although the flowers face so none of their beauty 

 is lost.

 size measuring from 2 to 2\ inches in diameter, in color a rich 

 golden yellow rendered still more effective by the numerous
