VERONICA (Ver-on'-i-ka) —Speedwell 
A family whose value is greatly underrated. For rocker¬ 
ies, walls, banks, edging, etc., the dwarf members of the 
great clan are of outstanding importance. All are of the 
very easiest culture and bloom with such abandon as 
to rank them, in our opinion, among the very best of 
low growing plants. The taller sorts are useful in the 
border and their spikes of bloom work nicely in mixed 
bouquets.
