basket is Clintonia 
Pulchella. It is not 
unlike Lobelia in 
growth and flower, 
as will be noticed

are small, start read¬ 
ily, and the plants 
soon begin to bloom 
stooling out and 
blooming freely, 
thus making a fine 
display as a bracket 
or pot plant. It is 
rare and always

of handsome blue and white flowers. It is one of those 
graceful little plants that every one admires, and 
deserves to be added to every good collection. P. 32.

Dianthus Barbatus, Sweet 
William. These old-fashioned flrs. 
have been greatly improved in size, 
color and markings. These deserve 
to be in a garden bed because of 
their beauty, showiness and de¬ 
lightful fragrance. See page 65.

than ordinary merit is Eutoca Viscida. It grows 6in. 
high, each plant be¬ 
coming a clump of 
exquisite blue firs, 
with prominent 
white anthers, at¬ 
tracting admiration

Hollyhocks. These are showy garden plants of 
great beauty, some varieties will bloom the first sea¬ 
son, but all of the ele¬ 
gant improved varie¬ 
ties will bloom freely 
the second season if 
started before mid¬ 
summer. If not allow¬ 
ed to form seeds, and 
the plants cut back, a 
few will live over the 
Second winter and 
bloom more or less dur¬ 
ing the third year. The 
So-called annual Holly- 
hocksshould be started 
in Spring or Autumn, 
The finest varieties, 
however, should be 
treated as biennials. 
The seeds germinate 
well in Spring or early Summer, and in their rich, 
sunny bed will make a display the second year. 
Hollyhock. Dear Mr. Park: I cannot say enough 
in praise of the Hollyhocks I got of you, of the beau¬ 
tiful shades and the satin texture of the petals. They 
were excellent. Mrs. A. Gagne, Worcester, Co., Mass. 
Kenilworth Ivy. This is a lovely trailing hardy 
perennial useful as a covering for a rose or gladioli 
bed or for covering bare 
spots that would otherwise 
be unsightly. It is also a 
beautiful basket or bracket 
plant, the sprays hanging 
over the sides gracefully, 
the foliage and flowers be¬ 
ing delicate and pretty* 
It will thrive in a dense 
shade where the sun never 
reaches, but will do equally 
well in full sunshine. It is 
one of the good things that 
should be in every collection. See page 38. 
Mimosa Pudica. This is the pretty sensitive plant, 
so called because if the leaves are touched they will 
close and droop as if wither¬ 
ed. The flowers are little 
pink clusters produced con¬ 
tinuously throughout the 
Summer. A plant in a pot 
or a clump of plants in the 
garden is always attractive 
because of handsome foliage' 
and flowers. The plants are 
quite hardy and in the South, 
will reproduce from self-sown 
seeds, thus saving the trouble of sowing. It is desir¬ 
able in a garden collection. See page 40.
