ROCKY MOUNTAIN WILD FLOWERS 
graceful of the whole larkspur family. After blooming, 
it dies to the ground and remains dormant until the next 
spring. Easy culture. 
DIANTHUS knappi. 1' Something new in dianthus, as this 
little plant has yellow flowers. This is a color heretofore 
not obtainable in this family. Hardy, dainty and rare. 
Very suitable for the rockery or the border. 
DICENTRA formosa. N. 8" This is the western form of 
Bleeding Heart. It is a beautiful plant with finely di¬ 
vided foliage, and sprays of pinkish flowers, each about 
an inch long. Generally found in light shade, but does 
well in full sun. Any garden soil. 
DICENTRA spectabilis. Bleeding Heart. 30" This species is 
too well known to need an extended description. It is a 
native of the mountains of Siberia, consequently its hardi¬ 
ness is unquestioned. It does well in sun or shade, and 
blooms well as a pot plant in winter. It is generally 
considered the finest hardy plant in cultivation, as it is 
beautiful for the foliage alone. 35c each, $3.50 per dozen, 
postpaid. 
DODECATHEON pauciflorus, Pink Shooting Star. N. 10" A 
charming little plant having rose-colored flowers with de¬ 
licious fragrance. Does well in light shade or full sun. 
and is fine for the rock garden. When planted in rich 
soil they grow quite large. It loves to be pampered. After 
blooming it dies to the ground until the following spring. 
15c each, $1.50 doz., $8 per 100. 
DORONICUM excelsum. 2' One of the finest early spring 
flowering perennials. Does well in sun or shade. Ray 
flowers 3 inches across, bright yellow. Fine for the border 
and splendid as a cut flower. 
DRY AS octopetala. Wood Nymph. N. 5" Truly a little god¬ 
dess of the woods. A dainty little plant for the rockery, 
with small evergreen leaves forming a dense mat. The 
creamy-white flowers with yellow centers are an inch or 
more across. Should have gritty soil and good drainage. 
ERIGERON salsuginosus. Mountain Daisy. N. 1' The pink¬ 
ish-lavender flowers with yellow centers; 2 inches across. 
A fine subject for the rock garden. Does best in full sun. 
ERIOPHYLLUM lanatum. N. 8" A daisy-shaped flower 2 
inches across, deep chrome yellow with a yellow center. 
Likes dry situations and full sunlight. Blooms all sum¬ 
mer, and fine for the rockery. 
GAILLARDIA Burgundy. 2' Flowers are brilliant wine-red 
with a maroon center, and no yellow in its blossoms. This 
is a beautiful new variety of outstanding merit. Makes 
a superior cut flower. This I consider the most desirable 
of all the gaillardias, as it is in a class by itself. T^he 
most popular gaillardia in my garden.
