PULMONARIA (Pul-moh-nair'-i-a) —Lungwort

rockery. Should be grown in groups and reset every 
three or four years. They are especially lovely under de¬ 
ciduous trees and shrubs or along the waterside.

clouds of mertensia-like blooms of clear gentian-blue.

PYRETHRUM (Py-ree'-thrum)—Painted Daisy 
Pyrethrums have been called the spring blooming Chrys¬ 
anthemum and we think that the newer sorts are a very 
close rival of that popular flower. As a cut flower for 
Memorial Day they certainly have no superior. If not 
allowed to seed there will be scattered blooms all sum¬ 
mer, although these as well as the first flowers after 
transplanting, are apt to be single. We have been unable 
to supply the demand for these choice flowers the last 
two seasons and urge that you order early to avoid dis¬ 
appointment. All are propagated vegetatively and are 
guaranteed true to name.
