the favorites for border planting. It has a strong constitution

are well rolled back and handsomely spotted. The color 
ranges from pink to carmine on a white ground. The style 
and stamens are prominent and attractive parts of the flower. 
The style is long and curved and of much grace and strength. 
The stamens boldly diverge from it with anthers conspicuous 
for their size, color and extremely delicate poise. The foliage 
is attractive and graceful. Plant 8 inches deep and provide 
good drainage. August-September flowering. Height 4 to 5 ft.

ers at about the same time. August-September flowering.
