as an annual over the greater part of the 
country. Stately, tropical growth with bril¬ 
liantly colored spikes of seed pods. Rapid 
grower, requiring rich soil and plenty of

growing. Several varieties provide varied 
colorings and sizes of growth. 
Chinese Lantern Plant— Physalis

This hardy perennial ornament plant has 
come into favor for its brilliant orange-
