DOUBLE AND SINGLE-FLOWERED. 
T ins family is perhaps the noblest of all the hardy plants. Few have seen the named kinds, 
those who have not cannot form the slightest conception of their splendour. We have often 
bUn amazed at the intensity of their colours, and spikes of flowers averaging from pe 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.
