mixed border. All are attractive plants for the shady border or the 
woodland garden.

or spring, 6 to 8 inches apart, 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

effect when grown in masses, and readily reproduce themselves from 
seed.

DICTAMNUS - Gas Plant- or Fraxinella 
An old-fashioned, herbaceous perennial. Once firmly established, a 
plant will continue to thrive in the same spot for several generations. 
They have ashlike leaves which emit a delightfully fragrant odor, and 
the quaintly formed flowers are borne in upright racemes. The inflores- 
cense is covered with glands secreting a resinous, volatile matter, which 
may be ignited in the evening of hot days without any damage to the 
plants. 
Culture. They require a deep, rich, loamy soil and a sunny, well drained 
border. Not suitable for heavy, damp soils. Best grown singly, so as to 
display the handsome contour and beauty of the foliage. Once planted, 
avoid disturbing the roots. Plant in spring or fall, 10 to 12 inches apart.

A very showy border perennial, forming a bush about 2'/j feet, having 
fragrant foliage and spikes of rosy pink flowers with deeper veins dur¬ 
ing June and July. It is not advisable to transplant often, as it im¬ 
proves with age, it being one of the most permanent features of the 
herbaceous border. 
Alba Three $1.20, Doz. $3.50, 100 $25.00 
The white-flowered variety of above. 
DORONICUM - Leopardbane 
Very showy yellow-flowered perennial. Their yellow, daisy-like flowers 
are invaluable for cutting. As they flower chiefly in spring, they are 
indispensable in the border at that period of the year. They have bright 
green, hecrt-shaped leaves which disappear during July and August 
when the plant is dormant. 
Culture. Thrive well in heavy soils and succeed in sunny or partially 
shaded borders. Best grown in groups of six or more. Plant in autumn 
or early spring, 6 to 8 inches apart. Lift, divide and replant every 
third year; remove the flower heads directly after they fade, then a 
second crop of flowers will follow. Water freely in dry weather. Lovely 
with pale lavender tulips. 
Caucasicum Three $1.40, Doz. $4.00, 100 $30.00 
Large, bright yellow flowers, one of the most effective early spring¬ 
flowering perennials. Effective in a hardy border. It is a splendid 
flower for cutting, gs it carries well and stands a long time in water 
. s. 
In the spring Doronicum are al¬ 
ways sent in pots so as to avoid 
damage to tender early growth. 
DICENTRA - Bleeding Heart 
Old-fashioned perennials; also known under the name of Dielytra. The 
species named below have fleshy, brittle stems and finely cut, fernlike 
foliage. 
Culture. Spectabilis should be grown in a partially shady border. 
Eximia will do well in a similar position, or in the woodland garden, or 
in a shady nook of the rockery. Plant in fall or very early spring, 8 to 
12 inches apart. 
3Eximia Three $1.00, Doz. $3.00, 100 $20.00 
(Plumy Bleeding Heart). A dwarf-growing sort, with beautiful, finely 
cut foliage and showy racemes of pretty pink flowers throughout the 
season. Too much cannot be said for this fine border plant as it is 
equally at home in full shade or sun and perfectly hardy anywhere. 
Spectabilis Three $1.60, Doz. $4.50, 100 $35.00 
(Bleeding Heart or Seal Flower). An old-fashioned favorite; its long 
racemes of graceful heart-shaped pink flowers are always attractive; 
it is used also for forcing in the house, and is perfectly at home in any 
part of the hardy border, and especially valuable for planting in clumps.
