Please don't plant except in groups of at least three plants, 
but it is never so fine as in its first flowering year. It comes 
near to perpetual flowering, if not allowed to seed. It is, how¬ 
ever, sprawly and should be staked. Furthermore, it self sows 
prolifically, and may become a nuisance. 
CORY DALIS ( Fumitory ) (G) 
Cheilanthifolia —Foliage as graceful, restful and delicate as 
fern fronds; having yellow flowers about i foot in height. Likes 
a rich but well drained soil. It will do in partial shade, but it 
is not common in America and not easy. If planted along a 
stone walk, its habit of growth is interesting. It has an ir¬ 
resistible attractiveness. 
CRUCIANELLA {Crosswort) 
Stylosa (D) Ball shaped, purple flowers on dwarf plants 
suitable for the rockery. Early flowering. 
DELPHINIUM {Larkspur) (D) 
Chinense —Not similar to the English delphinium, but equally 
indispensable. The blue is an intense luminous gentian, in 
fairy like panicles, about 3 feet in height. Flowers immediately 
after the June burst of the English larkspurs, and is the one 
perennial to be counted on to carry on the blues in the border. 
Feed it and be rewarded. 
English Hybrids (E)—These stately spikes in all shades of 
blue, lavender, blue and purple—with large individual flowers, 
are undoubtedly first in importance for the June gardens. 
Cultivate deeply, give plenty of humus and bone, separate 
every third year, and plant boldly. 
DIANTHUS 
We regard the Dianthus in its several varieties listed below, as 
among the most desirable garden flowers. They are not diffi¬ 
cult to grow, and no rigour of New Hampshire winter im¬ 
peaches them. 
Alwoodi Alpinus (D) Rockery pinks, with lovely glossy 
foliage, and pink flowers on stems less than 6 inches in height 
in July and August. Needs lime, and is simply ideal for the 
rockery.
