This list contains the best in Strawberries; 2 everbearing 
varieties; 3 best standard sorts, early, medium and late; 
and last but not least, 2 sorts, Fairfax and Dorsett. These 
were developed by scientists in the U. S. Dept, of Agricul¬ 
ture. In the opinion of most of those who have tested 
them they far surpass in quality any variety known to 
growers in this country. The royal” flavor of these 
berries coupled with the fact that the plants of both 
varieties are unusually vigorous, healthy, productive, and 
that the berries average large in size and are of beautiful 
appearance will make them the leading early berries, even 
displacing Premier in many places. Fairfax berries after 
they have become fully ripe are dark in color although 
they stay firm for many days. Dorsett berries are light 
in color and stay light even when fully ripe.

STACHYS—Woundwort 
Dwarf-growing perennials suitable for the margins of 
borders or as rock plants. Lanata is commonly used 
as an edging to borders. 
Culture. Will thrive in ordinary soil in a sunny border 
or rockery. For edging purposes plant eight inches 
apart in autumn or spring. Remove any flowers that 
form on Lanata as the plant is grown only for its lovely 
silvery foliage.

useful in rock garden; dwarf; soft silvery foliage;

the root stock and the flower stems are more or less 
twiggy, bearing their small flowers in much-branched 
panicles. The flowers are useful for cutting for indoor 
decoration, also for drying for winter use. 
Culture. A sandy loam is essential to grow these 
plants well. They will not thrive on heavy soils. A 
sunny position, too, is indispensable. Plant in autumn 
or spring, 6 inches apart. They show to the best ad- 
\antage when grown towards the front of the border. 
If the flowers are required for winter decoration, gather 
them before they are fully expanded.

A very handsome perennial, with China Aster-like flow¬ 
ers, that appear late in the season, about September. It 
prefers a warm, sheltered location. Should certainly 
lie grown in all gardens since its flowers are most beau¬ 
tiful in form and color.
