HERBACEOUS PEANTS AND BORDERS

A Snowy Mound 
A beautiful acquisition to our gardens is the White Bush 
Lupine, Lupinus arboreus, illustrated below. It is a perennial, 
usually hardy, and thrives best in dry situations. It forms dense 
rounded bushes, 4 to 5 feet high, and is completely covered 
with elegant racemes of snowy white flowers. It is easily grown 
from either seeds or cuttings. 
Foxgloves in the Border 
Digitalis or Foxgloves, illustrated 
above, reveal their true beauty when 
grown in a partially shaded border or 
woodland shrubbery, where they enliven 
the subdued environments by their tall 
spikes of flowers. The improved Glox- 
inia-flowered varieties include many 
colors, shades and markings, and are 
also much more robust than the type 
D. purpurea. They are perfectly hardy 
and usually flower two years in succes- 
sion; in congenial locations they will 
grow and increase from self-sown 
seed.
