PENTSTEMON. Beard - tongue. This 
genus comprises a large number of 
variously colored flowers. Few genera 
among the popular hardy perennials 
afford a greater number that are so 
attractive. Their natural graceful¬ 
ness, variety of colors and great abun¬ 
dance of flowers 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 drainage is essential. 
Though hardy as a rule, too much 
frost with an excess of moisture in 
winter seems to be fatal to most of 
this genus.

P. laevigatus ( P. digitalis). Common on moist 
grounds in the West. Though not so show}' as 
some, its flowers are quite abundant, nearly 
white; a trifle more than an inch in length. 
Moist, sandy soil is its choice. June. N., 
10 cts. each, $1 per doz.; P., 13 cts. each, $1.30 
per doz. 
P. ovatus. Two to 4 feet high; stems erect, but 
slender flowers; blue or purple. N., 15 cts. 
each; P., 18 cts. each. Seeds, 8 cts. per pkt. 
PHLOX paniculata. Hybrid Phloxes. Many 
of the best hardy perennials are of this genus. 
Dwarf species, like P. subulata and its varie¬ 
ties, are useful in rockwork. The taller sorts 
of P. paniculata and P. maculata give some 
most delicate and varied colors, and are prized 
as among the most staple of garden perennials
