GENTIANACEAE 
From the gentian family we have some of the most lovely bog and 
rock garden plants; plants of most dazzling blue. Some are among the 
most stubborn of subjects; others are entirely amenable. All will 
grow in the open; most will have their roots cool. If you cannot offer 
this shade will compensate to some extent. Heavy rich soil. They All 
a deflnite want for it is in late summer and fall, till frost cuts them, 
that they are most glorious.
