AMERICAN COWSLIPS, or DODECATHEONS. Among the earliest of the spring 
llowers of California, are these bcautifnl cyclanien-like rock-plants. There are a number 
of wild varieties, and I offer the Hendersonii from the north, a very hardy plant with 
bcautifLd rich, reddish llowers. The roots are handled dry. 4 cts. each, 40 cts. per doz.

base. 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz. 
DELPHINIUMS. See Larkspurs. 
DENDROMECON rigidum is the Bush Poppy of California. It grows from 4 to 10 
feet high, with whitish branches and light green leaves, and produces a great abundance 
of light yellow flowers, very much like the Eschscholtzia, or California^I'oppy. A well- 
grown plant makes a very fine shrub. 50 cts. each. 
DICENTRA formosa is the California Bleeding Heart and a most attractive plant 
for shaded places. The heart-shaped flowers are pink, and the leaves fern-like. 15 cts. 
each. Si. 2 5 per doz. 
EPILOBIUM spicatum, or Fire Weed, is a handsome plant allied to the Godetias, 
with tall stems and many rosy magenta flowers. May be grown to advantage in 
masses for color effect. 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz. 
THE ERIOGONUMS of the Pacific Coast are a wonderfully varied genus, includ- 
ing a multitude of forms, many of which are very ornamental. They inhabit the driest 
of places, even the desert region, and are admirable plants for dry rockwork or other dry 
positions. I offer E. fasciculatum, which forms a bush 3 to 5 feet high, with a very 
large number of flower-clusters in the shape of a yellow ball. The plants and flowers 
are distinct and novel in every way. 25 cts. each. 
HEUCHERAS are the very best plants for either shaded rockwork or moist, shaded 
spots in the garden. They harmonize perfectly with Ferns or fall Anemones, never 
become weedy, and hold on for years.- The foliage is fine, and the flowers give just that 
touch of color needed to enliven a fern-bed. They are also good in the open sun on the 
edging of any flower-bed, and, in fact, make a most excellent edging. 
H. micrantha is the wild California Alum Root, or Wild Geranium, and a splendid 
plant in every way. In fall it colors beautifully and the leaves last long. The panicles 
of tiny white flowers are very attractive in mass. 15 cts. each, Si. 25 per doz., S7.50 
per 100. 
H. rubescens is a plant that attracts as much attention as any in my garden. It 
forms strong, massed colonies by sending out prostrate stems, and in flower is a cloud 
of soft pink. The flowers are really the colored calyxes and stay fresh a surprisingly 
long time. For cutting as bouquet greens they are most excellent. As rock-plants or 
edging for a hardy bed they are very fine. My plants this year are extra good and 
the price is most reasonable. 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz. 
HOUND'S TONGUE. See Cynoglossum. 
HYPERICUM Scoulerii is a beautiful St. John's-Wort which prefers wet soil. It

pin-pje; Longipetala, tall, light blue; Watsoniana, light blue to purple, strong growing;
