613 FOXGLOVE (Digitalis). Grows to the height of 3 or 4 feet, 
with dense spikes of brilliantly colored flowers which are ter¬ 
minal and half as long as height of plant. Much of the quaint 
charm of an old fashioned garden is created by stately spires 
of Foxglove. Their long spikes are crowded with large thimble¬ 
shaped blossoms beautifully spotted on the exposed interior 
surfaces. They are ornamental subjects for naturalizing among 
shrubs or in the background of a hardy border. Mixed. 
615 GAILLARDIA (Blanket Flower) —Remarkable for the 
profusion, size and brilliancy of their flowers. Continuing 
in bloom from early summer till November; excellent for beds, 
borders or for cutting; should be sown where they are to bloom;

frames. They are easily grown from seed and will commence 
flowering the first year. The colors include a wilderness of 
tints, from dove white through amber, pale yellow, orange, 
salmon, rose, cerise and ruby-red to violet. It has made quite 
a “hit” when exhibited at recent flower shows. Pkt., 25 seeds 25c

636 HELIOTROPE. Always popular on account of its delightful 
fragrance. The seed is rather slow in starting and had best be 
sown in boxes or in a hotbed. While it is a perennial, it will not 
stand any frost and is therefore started afresh each year, un¬ 
less one cares to remove the plants to the house before frost 
comes. Can be started from cuttings. Mixed colors.

plants, bearing long spikes of double flowers, 3 to 4 inches across.

beauty to those who have not seen these improved sorts.
