DICENTRA - Bleeding Heart 
Old-fashioned perennials; also known under the name of Dielytra. These species have fleshy, 
brittle stems and finely cut, fernlike foliage.

similar position, or in the woodland garden, or in a shady nook of the rockery.

Spectabilis fL. ) (Bleeding Heart or Seal Flower).

the hardy border, and especially valuable for planting in clumps 24 ft. tall 35 <t each; $1.00

Cicentra spectabilis (Bleeding Heart) 
DIGITALIS. Foxglove. 
The stately Foxglove is a biennial, and 
so are the many beautiful strains of it 
with large, spotted flowers. All are 
attractive plants for the shady border or 
the woodland garden. 
Culture: Plants may be planted in well- 
drained, good garden soil. The biennial 
strains are best transplanted early in 
spring; if fall planting must be done, 
protect carefully for the winter. All the 
kinds described will succeed in ordinary 
soil in sun or in shade. They make a 
charming effect when grown in masses. If 
the flower stalks are cut down immediate¬ 
ly after they begin to fade, new growth 
will often appear at the base of the 
plant, causing the plant, in many cases, 
to live another year.
