PENTSTEM0N. Beard-tongue. This genus com¬ 
prises a large number of variously colored flow¬ 
ers. Few genera among the popular hardy 
perennials afford a greater number that are so 
attractive. Their natural gracefulness, variety 
of colors and great abundance of Mowers make 
them useful in many places. They like a sandy 
soil with leaf-mold intermixed, and plenty of 
moisture in summer. But in winter good drain¬ 
age is essential. Though hardy ns a rule, too 
much frost-with an excess of moisture in winter 
seems to be fatal to most of this genus. 
P. acuminafus. Lilac or violet Mowers in July; stem 
erect, about a foot high. One of the best. X.,

easiest to grow. The Mowers have good stems 
and are useful for cutting. X., 25 cts. each; P., 
27 cts. each.
