THE KURDISTAN FOXGLOVE 
In Digitalis orientalis we have a highly attractive, and 
very different Foxglove. Loosely branching racemes of 
flowers, the individual blossoms oddly unsymmetrical, and 
carried horizontally. The ground color is white, but laid 
over this is a lace-penciled reticulation of golden chestnut, 
then all dusted with soft downiness. Long in bloom.

HESPERIS STEVEVIANA 
Crimea of the Black Sea has given us this new Sweet 
Rocket, remarkable for speed and ease, as well as for beauty. 
First season there are decorative rosette-mounds of foliage. 
Early next spring stems rise in tangled bush form, each end¬ 
ing in an enormous panicle of glowing violet bloom, a pure 
shade, rich and deep. Effectively attractive for many weeks.

THE GOLDEN CLEOME 
This can be spectacular. Cleome plants of giant size, 
loaded with extending racemes of crowded gold-yellow blos¬ 
soms, a golden shade so deep, indeed, that it approaches 
orange. It grows in robust tree-form, blooming prodigally 
for many months. Given space and richness, the great 
branching plants will tower above eight feet, though about 
half this height may be more likely under usual garden con¬ 
ditions. Botanically it is Cleome lutea, an annual of easy 
handling, germinating quickly if sown while soil is cool.

ARISTEA OR BLUE-BRILLIANT 
Even in the north we may enjoy the vivid coerulean inten¬ 
sities of this rather easy South African flower. Unlike its 
cousins. Gladiolus and Watsonia, Aristea is not a bulb, and 
so, to eliminate storage difficulties, it is perhaps best grown 
in pots. It may be given year-around window culture, or it 
may be plunged in the garden for summer flowering, the 
pots being carried to a light cellar in late autumn, and the 
plants held over winter there, with just an occasional scant 
watering. We offer here Aristea capitata, ebfk(htw) (3)50, 
a sturdy species with big flowers that vary from wedgewood 
blue to deepest indigo. Pkt. 15c. 
CLEMATIS STANS 
A pleasant herbaceous perennial for the hardy border, a 
foundation planting, or to veil a fence in beauty. Decorative 
foliage masses,—then in autumn great loose panicles of 
bloom, two or three feet long, each filled with hundreds of 
little pinch-waisted “Hyacinth blossoms,” soft sky blue, or 
sometimes of snowy whiteness. It is long-handsome, too, when 
loaded with its fluffy seed-plumes. Will sometimes bloom 
first year;—that is from very early sowings. erbh(5)50. Pkt.
