GALEGA officinalis (Goat’s 
Rue). A hardy perennial of the pea family, from the south of Europe. 
Grows 3 to 4 feet high, and bears its blue flowers in racemes in summer . . 
C ALTON IA can d lea ns ( Hy acini hus candicans ). Has large, pure white, 
pendent, funnel-shaped flowers, in long racemes. They are fragrant, and the 
whole of the raceme is not out at one time. It is a native of south Africa, and 
has been very largely grown in the United States, selling as the “Summer 
Hyacinth.'” Summer.Seeds, 5 cts. per pkt. . 
CENTIANA (Gentian). This group comprises some of the most admirable 
hardy plants. Most of them require much moisture while in growth, and on 
this account they often fail. I have recently been growing them in moist, 
shaded situations, in sandy loam, with very good results. Though moisture 
is necessary, drainage is also needed. They like a deep, loamy soil, with 
stones intermixed. 
G. Andrewsii (Closed Gentian). Not rare in many places in New England. 
It is a strong grower, with blue flowers an inch long. Autumn. 
G. cruciata. Has pale blue flowers in clusters, and is a good plant . 
G. ochroleuca. Blue terminal flower. 
G. oregana. 
G. Saponaria. Is one of the last to bloom and is valu¬ 
able, as it comes in soon after G. Andrewsii and 
barely before frost. 
G. tibetica. Is more attractive for its large, deep-green 
foliage, than on account of flowers, which are not 
prominent or showy. 
CERANIUM Fremontii, A species from Colorado . . . 
G. ibericum ( G . piatypetalum) . Large and branch¬ 
ing ; flowers pale purple, in June.

high, with rose-purple flowers ; from 
Oregon and Washington.
