stems, to be followed by berries of a bril¬ 
liant hue. Best in clayey soils rich in 
leaf mold. Very rare. 50c each.

ing more finely cut than in any of the 
others. Rare. 50c each. 
DELPH INIU M *bicolor — Royal purple and 
white flowers on 10 inch stems. Humus

pine pinks in cultivation. Neat little

the fragrance of Jasmine, particularly 
noticeable at night. 6 to 8 inches. June
