with short, linear leaves and large, showy violet 
flowers in late autumn, resembling an aster. Plant 
in dry, open places or woods. 15 cts. each, SI.50

DODECATHEON Meadia (Shooting Star). m 
A very pretty, smooth perennial, with rose-colored 
or sometimes white flowers in May or June. 
This is sometimes called American Cyclamen. It 
thrives in rich, moist woods, or in the open border. 
25 cts. each, 
EPIG^EA repens (Trailing Arbutus). * m A 
pretty little trailing evergreen, with very fragrant, 
white or rose-colored flowers in early spring. To 
succeed with this beautiful little plant, select a 
shady spot where there is perfect drainage (a dry, 
sandy soil is preferable), cover the plants with 
Dicentra cucullaria (see page 25) about an inch of leaves or enough to keep the soil 
cool and moist and let them remain for a whole 
season, as it takes that time to get the Arbutus well established and rooted. We grow 
it in a frame for a season, but the leaves answer the same purpose. 20cts. each. $2.00 
per doz. 
EPILOBIUM angustifolium (Great Willow Herb). <§> Grows 3 to 5 feet, bearing 
pink-purple flowers in upper part of stalk; quite showy. 15 cts.; seeds, 5 cts. 
ERIGERON alpinus (Fleabane). A dwarf species, suitable for rockwork, with heads 
of purplish flowers. 15 cts. each. $1.25 per doz.
