The Daisy blooms as soon as snow is gone, and plants 
are usually furnished in flower very early in the spring, 
and will receive no check in shipping or transplanting. 
Plant in a cool, shady place, if possible. In severe win¬ 
ters they need a slight protection of straw or leaves.

DAPHNE. 
The Daphne Cneorum is a beautiful little plant, grow¬ 
ing usually not more than a foot in height, with slender 
light green leaves, and almost every branch bearing 
upon its point a cluster of pink flowers, as fragra.it as 
Mignonette. It flowers early in the spring, giving a few 
flowers during the summer, and blooming quite freely in 
autumn. It has proved perfectly hardy here.

DELPHINIUM, (Larkspur.) 
SEE ENGRAVING, PAGE 43. 
The Perennial Delphiniums, like their relatives, the 
Annuals,commonly called Larkspurs, are valuable plants, 
and in no other way can we get such a grand and con¬ 
stant display of blue flowers. Formosum is a most bril¬ 
liant dark blue, by all odds the finest blue flower known 
among our hardy plants. The Chinese arc generally of 
lighter shades, from lavender to intense deep blue.

DEUTZIA. 
The Deutzias, particularly the two double varieties, 
are among the finest acquisitions recently made to our 
flowering shrubs. The flowers are as pretty and as per¬ 
fect as little roses. The first time we saw this plant in 
flower we thought it the prettiest shrub in existence. 
Deutzia gracilis, flowers white,single, and sopro- 
fuse as to cover the branches. Small plants, mail, 25

DICENTRA. 
Dicentra spcctabilis, some¬ 
times called Bleeding Heart, 
bears heart-shaped, deep pink 
flowers, a dozen or more being 
borne on a graceful, drooping 
raceme, a foot or more in 
length. Excellent for the gar¬ 
den, and perfectly hardy 
everywhere, and for the house 
there are very few plants that 
will give more pleasure for so 
little trouble and expense.

DICTAMNUS. 
SEE ENGRAVING, PAGE 43. 
The Dictamnus Fraxinella is a hardy perennial, grow¬ 
ing to three feet, of a very neat habit, and the foliage is 
good both in form and color. The flowers are in large 
racemes, sometimes a foot in length, with a pleasant 
balsamic odor. 
Dictamnus Fraxinella, white or pink. Plants 
$3.00 per dozen ; each. 30 
ERIANTHUS RAVENNZE. 
Erianthus Ravennae, for general culture, is the best 
tall Ornamental Grass we arc acquainted with. It is al¬ 
most as beautiful as the Pampas Grass, while its entire 
hardiness everywhere must make it popular as its merits 
become known. It is propagated both by seeds and 
division of the roots. The flower stems arc often ten feet 
in height, and the feathery head about a foot. The roots 
are robust, and we have never lost one by shippii>g.
