ALPHABETICAL LIST OF PLANTS 263 
flowers and bright, emerald-green leaves of glaucous habit ; 
more vigorous than M. virginica , the better-known kind. 
This plant is not easy to establish, preferring a shady, 
moist, and peaty nook. It will also succeed in rich kitchen- 
garden soil with slight shade overhead. Its arching 
leaves and beautiful pale blue flowers make it worth 
taking some trouble about. Propagation by division in the 
autumn or early spring, and, as it dies down completely, 
its position should be marked. 18 inches to 2 feet high. 
M. virginica (syn. pulmonariades ). Closely resembling M. 
sibirica , and requiring the same treatment. 
MICHAUXIA CAMPANULOIDES, “ Bellflower” 
(N.O. Campanulaceae.) 
White flowers tinged with purple ; a tall, pyramidal plant flourishing 
in deep loam and commonly treated as a biennial, though it has 
been known to last three and four years. It is a stately plant for the 
border, of branching and slender habit, requiring deep porous soil. 
An uncertain grower, requiring a little shelter in the winter, which can 
be afforded by a sloping pane of glass to throw the rain off. Propa- 
gated by seed sown the year before and planted out in July. 
MIMULUS, “Monkey Flower.” (N.O. Scrophulariacese.) 
Showy border plants loving moisture and damp places, the best 
known being the common musk. If propagated by seed, which is 
very small, it must be scattered on the surface and very lightly 
covered with soil. 
M. cardinalis. Orange-scarlet, flowering June to October, i to 
2 feet high. Propagated from seed, cuttings, and division. 
M. latms. Bright yellow, flowering June to September. 
Propagated as above, and with many varieties, including 
cupreus and various hybrids. 
M. moschatus (Musk). Bright yellow, 6 inches high, flowering 
from June to September. A sweet-scented old favourite, 
suited for wet and shady corners or for a stone edging 
in full sun. 
M. Harrisonii. Has larger flowers than the type, but without 
its fragrance. 
MONARDA, “Bergamot” or “Bee Balm.” (N.O. Labiatae.) 
Handsome perennials, 2 to 3 feet high, growing in any soil and 
increased by frequent division in spring or autumn or by seeds.
