$PENTSTEMON —This American genus furnishes us with the finest material 
for rock and wall work. The requirements for their success are 
simple; a gritty or stony soil with sharp drainage and full sun. Amid 
the almost universal confusion of names in this family, it is difficult 
indeed to be sure of names. Insofar as possible, plants listed below 
have been identified by comparison with herbarium specimens named 
by National Museum Botanists, or by direct identification by them 
of specimens.

the 2 to 3-ft. stems set with thin scarlet tubes from June to Sep¬ 
tember. Excellent for cutting.25
