Nothing quite rivals the Foxglove for garden and 
shrubbery borders, and setting along walks or drives In 
partly shaded spots, because of its splendid foliage, re¬ 
quiring nothing to be planted at its base, and on account 
of its tall, stately 
spikes of exquisitely 
spotted, tubular 
flowers, like invert¬ 
ed glove fl lifers, 
rising on substantial 
stalks to a height of 
over 3 feet. Digl- 
talis isalmostalways 
catalogued as a Per¬ 
ennial, but in reality 
it is one of those 
self-seeding Bien¬ 
nials which, of 
course, amounts to 
much the same 
thing. It lias been 
greatly improved of 
late years and the 
colors are wonder¬ 
fully varied, many 
flowers are prettily 
blotched or spotted, 
the more recent 
strains actually Iri- 
valiug Gloxinias In

does well i n a n y 
good, garden soil,

high bed, somewhat 
shaded.
