DOUBLE AND SINGLE-FLOWERED. 
T his lamilj is perhaps the noblest of all the hardy ]>lants. Few have seen the^amed kinds,, 
those who have not cannot form the slightest conception of their splendour. We have often 
been amazed at the intensity of their cmours, and spikes of dowers averaging from one to two- 
feet long. They should be in every garden, for if once planted beautiful flowers of all shades of" 
blue may be cut four months in the year.
