THALICTRUM (Meadow-Rue) (D) 
Adiantifolium —A hardy perennial with the foliage of the maid¬ 
enhair fern and the flowers of a diminished Bocconia. Easy 
culture in the sun or partial shade. 
THYMUS (Thyme) (C) 
CiTRiDioRus —Lemon Thyme. Prostrate creeping perennial with 
the characteristic lemon odor. Not easy to establish, but once 
established, it makes any group of rocks “belong”. Plant firmly, 
water, and shade. 
Serphyllum Splendens —(C) Dwarf variety, very hardy and 
rapid spreading. Use care in planting, and don’t delay after re¬ 
ceiving the plants. 
TRADESCANTIA VIRGINICA—(C) 
A favorite inhabitant of old gardens, glaucous green, grassy 
foliage embellished literally from May to October with blue 
florets, each glisten in turn for but a day. Good, we think, and 
very easy. An ancient, with all the virtues of the ancient. 
Reliable, faithful, humble, and lovely. 
TUNICA (C) 
Saxifraga —^Frail and airy, but thoroughly trustworthy. The wiry 
little stems rise above the tufts of grass-like foliage and scatter 
myriads of pink blossoms upon the air. As good for rockeries, 
as we know. 
VERONICA (Speedwell) (C) 
Incana —Silvery, wooly foliage, with spikes about one foot in 
height of intense blue. Keeps a trim appearance throughout the 
season, and we think it indispensable either in the rockery or 
the border. 
Spicata —An eye filling plant in July and August with its noble 
spikes of violet blue flowers. Feed generously and divide every 
three years. Delightful as a cut flower. (C) 
VIOLA—Cornuta—Tufted Pansies.—Probably the only perennial 
that can conscientiously be recommended as an edging plant. 
Even so, if you expect it to bloom as advertised you must keep 
the dead ones from going to seed.
