flower. One of the best old-fashioned gar¬

the border or margins of shrubbery, being quite

DICTAMNUS albus [D. Fraxinella ). Fraxi¬ 
nella, Gas-plant. 
D. —, var. rubra. It is a good-sized hardy 
perennial of much worth, from eastern Europe. 
Its pale purple flowers sre much better and 
more numerous after it has become well es¬ 
tablished. Too much should not be expected 
of this plant the first year after setting. It is 
easy of culture, but a dry soil suits it best. 
Fine when well established. May and June.

simple as to be within the reach of all. 
D. amblgua (D. grandiflora). Has yellow¬ 
ish flowers and is quite pretty. It is a per¬ 
ennial, hardy and of easy culture. Middle 
of June.Seeds, 8 cts. per pkt. - 15 
D. ferruglnea I take to be a biennial, and 
though we get but one season’s bloom from 
it, it pays well for the trouble and expense. 
It is a very tall plant in its best locations,' 
and the racemes are often 2 feet long. 
Flowers rusty color; quite pretty.20 
D. gloxlnloldes. Has a great variety of col¬ 
ors, but in growing them separately I have 
had much difficulty to keep the colors sepa¬ 
rate. Plave, therefore, thought best to offer 
only the mixed colors, and thus save the 
possible disappointment to my customers, 
which must occur when separate colors are 
sold. My strain is one of the very best. 
Good strong clumps of this charming flower. 
Blooms in June.15 
D. lanata. Woolly Foxglove. Is another 
biennial, and to give the best effect should 
be massed. It grows 3 feet high, and its 
compound racemes of white and purplish 
flowers have an orchidaceous appearance.
