The MULLEIN PINK, or Agrostemma Coronaria is hardy, evergreen, and of the 
easiest culture. Indeed it can readily be naturalized in any fair soil. The large basal 
leaves are silvery with closely appressed hairs and contrast with the vividly rosy crimson 
flowers. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz.; White, 20 cts. each. 5V/., sun. Soil, any. Prop.

MONARDA didyma, or Oswego Tea, is suggestive of Salvia splendens. Jt is one of 
the mint family, thriving best in good soil, rather wet. I have a mixture of light pinks 
and lavenders, and the bright scarlet Cambridge Scarlet. 20 cts. each, $2 per doz. 
NEPETA Glechoma, or Ground Ivy, is a most dainty and useful Mint. The leaves 
are crenated and pretty, the stems run on the ground and root, making solid carpets. I 
know of no better ground-cover for a shaded bed, while for hanging-baskets, or in pots
