dainty. June and July. 50 cts. each. 
HEUCHERA. Alumroot. Coral Bells. Ameri- 
can natives, mostly from the western part, 
and found on cliffs, in the hills and moun- 
tains. They prefer a shaly, or else a deep 
cool well drained location, and partial shade 
is a help. With extra moisture during the 
heat of summer, they may be kept longer in 
flower. In the garden, they are fine in fair 
sized clumps in the border, or massed in 
long narrow edgings, giving an airy grace to 
stiffer flowers near them. They fit the 
rockery, too, especially the smaller sorts. 
Mostly, the sorts now being grown are 
hybrids, but they divide into two types. One, 
like the H. sanguinea parent, has stubby 
spikes of rather large bells, of bright vivid 
colors. The other is taller, the bells much 
smaller, and the colors softer. Newer sorts 
are a combination of both types, however. 
Cascade. Tall stems of pale pink bells. Strong 
growing. A better brizoides type, and a 
better grower than Rosmundi. 
Edge Hall. Large flesh pink bells on 12-15 
inch stems, a plant of the sanguinea type, 
very attractive in color and habit. 
Flambeau. Very bright red, and quite tall. 
Blooms all summer. 
La Perle. Very dark red. One of the showiest 
sorts. 
Pink Beauty. Fine large pink bells, on good 
stems. 
Pluie de Feu. Fiery red flowers in loose grace- 
ful spikes. 
Robinsoni. A tiny plant. Bright pink flowers 
on 6 to 8 inch stems. 
Shelburne White. The best white we have 
seen. Not too tall, and with large bells. 
HIBISCUS. Rose-Mallow. A large group of 
plants, from round the world, ranging from 
the edible Okra, to the shrubby Rose of 
Sharon. The form of interest to us is a native 
of the swamps of the eastern United States. 
Like many other wet land plants, it thrives 
under cultivation in much drier soil than 
would be expected, and may even be lost if 
planted where water stands. Showy strong 
growing background plants for the border, 
or else to use as specimens or in groups, 
alone. 
moscheutos. To 8 feet tall, with strong stems 
from a large fleshy root. The foliage is ex- 
cellent and the large single flowers, in varied 
colors from white to red, are similar to those 
of the Hollyhock, but from six to nine inches 
across. Large roots. 50 cts. each. 
HIPPOCREPIS. A few plants, from the Medi- 
terranean region, native to dry soils, and use- 
ful in the rockery or for carpeting, if grass 
will not grow. 
comosa. Of the Pea family, this has trailing 
stems, and yellow flowers of good size. 
HOSTA. Funkia. Plantain Lily. Old garden 
friends, under a new name, since the above 
is now definitely accepted as correct. Most 
of them come from China and Japan. They 
grow in almost any soil, and with their fine 
foliage, sometimes variegated, they are used 
for edgings, as much as for their blooms. 
caerulea. Rather broad, dark green foliage, 
and lavender-blue flowers on stems to 3 feet 
in summer. 
minor alba. This is a small foliaged sort, 
growing not over 8 inches tall, and with short 
stems of white flowers, in summer. 
This is the well known, Septem- 
ber flowering, fragrant sort with its large 
yellow green leaves. The white flowers are 
in tight umbels, and are sometimes 5 inches 
long, appearing over a long period. 35 cts. 
each; 10 for $3.00. 
undulata variegata. 
plantiginea. 
A form with wavy edged 
leaves, that are attractively variegated in 
green and white. Lavender flowers, in sum- 
mer. 
IBERIS. Candytuft. Herbs of the Mustard 
Family, both annual and perennial, grown in 
large numbers for their showy patches of 
color. From the Mediterranean region, they 
like a dry warm soil, but are remarkably 
hardy. Useful in the rockery, and as edgings, 
or for massing in the front of the border. 
sempervirens. Almost shrubby, this is nearly 
evergreen. It makes a mound a foot or more 
across, and in spring is smothered in clusters 
of white flowers. 
INCARVILLEA. Members of a family that 
come almost entirely from the warmer sec- 
tions of the world, these Asian herbs are too 
little known. Because they have deep roots, 
a light sandy loam suits them best, and a 
fully sunny location. Avoid any standing 
water, and in spring do not disturb, as growth
