THE GENTIANS 
The Gentians give us the finest blue flowers 
of the garden, so far as purity of coloring and 
grace of form are concerned. They will add the 
final touch of alluring beauty to the rockery or 
border, and, of course, they are good for natur¬ 
alizing. Seed is a bit slow in germinating.
