often producing 10 to 18 spikes, 24 to 30 inches long. 
Thriving in any ordinary garden soil, but prefering 
a moist, deep loam, where they will not suffer from 
drought. Few plants are more effective at their 
season of bloom, which extends from early in August 
till late in September. 
MYOSOTIS (Forget-Me-Not) 
Palustris Semperflorens. A variety that is hardly 
ever out of the flower; useful in a shady spot in the 
border. 
Chinese. Very fine. 
NEPETA 
Mussini. An excellent plant for any position but 
especially useful in the rock garden, it is of compact 
habit, forming dense tufts about 12 inches high with 
masses of small light violet blue flowers during July 
and August. 
OENOTHERA 
Evening Primrose. The Evening Primroses are 
elegant subjects for growing in an exposed sunny 
position either in the border or on the rockery, bloom¬ 
ing the greater part of the summer.

peting the ground, the rockery or the border. It 
grows but 4 inches high, and in the Spring is a sheet 
of rich bright pink flowers. 
Divaricata Canadensis. One of our native species, 
which is worthy of extensive planting, commencing 
to bloom early in April and continuing through May, 
with large, fragrant, lavender flowers on stems 10 
inches high. 
New Pink Shade. In our planting of Subulata Rosea, 
we have discovered a year ago, a distinct type of 
pink. This type is well worth growing. It is a clear 
bright pink. A very good addition to the list of 
Subulatas now in cultivation. 
Rosea. Rose-pink. Fine for covering banks; 
thrives in hot, dry situations and blooms profusely.

say that this is the finest free-flowering dwarf Phlox

ber ; dwarf spreading habit. 8 to 10 inches high.

son varieties.

foliage is interesting when the plants are not in 
bloom and the flowers ranging from pure white 
through shades of pink to deep crimson are beautiful 
on the plant or as cut flowers. They flower the last 
of May and through June. 
HARDY PRIMULAS (Primroses)
