Novae Englandiae —(E) The precious late blooming Aster of 
childhood memories with blue, lavender and purple blossoms 
in profuse panicles, from September to killing frost. 5 feet 
high, and in the ordinary garden needs staking. Separate 
every two years, otherwise it becomes scraggy. 
BAPTISIA (False Indigo) (C) 
Australis —A branching herb over 2 feet in height, having 
clear deep blue, pea shaped blossoms in June. The best of the 
baptisias for cultivation, having excellent foliage, after bloom. 
It is not particular as to soil but likes the sun. 
BOCCONIA (Plume Poppy, Tree Celandine) (C) 
Cordata —Tall (5-8 ft.) perennial; having glaucous foliage re¬ 
minding one of a grandiose blood root. The flowers are borne 
from August to frost in pinkish white, feathery panicles. It is 
not suitable except for wide borders or broad accents. We like 
it as a cut flower—but most for its stately habit of growth and 
for its foliage. 
BOLTONIA (False Chamomile) 
Asteroides (C) Asterlike, graceful, prolific—a race that satis¬ 
fies the gardener’s eye, when other herbaceous plants look 
pindly. White—slightly higher than latisquama. Stake strongly. 
Latisquama (C) Tail—Producing in late summer and autumn 
its miniature daisy-like florets of pinkish lavender, as ex¬ 
travagantly as Croesus. It needs staking, and dividing bien¬ 
nially. 
A garden, in the morning, 
Is gladsome, bright and gay; 
A garden in the evening 
Gives benediction to the day. 
CALAMINTHA ( Calamint) 
Alpina (D) Extra fine rockery dwarf, having rich purple 
flowers. All plants are especially strong this year. 
CAMPANULA (Bell-flower) 
An abundant and satisfactory group of hardy plants for many 
uses.
