IRIS SIBIRICA. Siberian Iris are not ap- 
preciated. Though not as large as Japanese 
sorts, they are more easily grown, and they 
thrive anywhere. And the newer sorts are 
bringing colors unknown in the group a few 
years ago. 
Blue Ridge. Late, silvery blue. 
loveliest.

KITAIBELIA. One, or perhaps more, species 
of plants of the Mallow family, from the 
Danube region. Much like Hibiscus, and 
grows well in any good soil. 
vitifolia. To 5 feet tall, with grape-like leaves, 
and white flowers along the stems. 35 cts. 
each; 10 for $3.00. 
KOELLIA. Mountain-Mint. Native from 
Maine to Texas, these plants are not partic- 
ular as to soils. They fit the border, will do 
for cutting. In effect, they prolong the sea- 
son and extend the use of Achillea The Pearl. 
Best and 
Large ruffled flowers of rich 
flexuosa. Grows to 30 inches high, with erect 
stems, slender long leaves, and compact heads 
of white flowers, a half inch across. 
LAVANDULA. Lavender. Small shrubs or 
woody herbs, mostly from the Mediterranean 
section, and grown most largely for the 
fragrance of their leaves and stems and 
flowers. They like a quite dry, well drained 
spot, but will suffer in too poor a soil. We 
think they like a fair amount of lime. In the 
rockery or the border, they are attractive in 
bloom, and closely set plants are often used 
to make a tiny clipped edging, or if space 
affords, they may be used naturally, for a 
larger edging. 
vera, Munsted Variety. The true Lavender is 
a shrub to 3 feet high. This form is very 
thick, dwarf and compact. The fl 
Sas p e flowers are 
LESPEDEZA. Bush Clover. Herbs or small 
shrubs of America, Asia and Australia, with 
pea-like flowers. They are hardy and grow 
in any well drained soil. Useful in the back 
of the border or among shrubs. 
formosa. Grows to 10 feet, with rose purple 
flowers in long drooping racemes, in Septem- 
ber and October. 35 cts. each. 
LEUCOCRINUM. Sand-Lily. Star-Lily. Con- 
sists of one species, native from Nebraska to 
California, where it grows in any well drained 
light soil. Belongs in the rockery or wild 
garden and should be allowed to carpet under 
small bushes or evergreens. 
montanum. Pure white flowers appear in May, 
from the bare earth, like Crocus, over a long 
period. The foliage follows and persists about 
all summer. 
LIATRIS. Blazing Star. Gayfeather. North 
American natives, from sandy wasteland, 
usually of easy culture in any garden soil. 
Due to their late summer flowering, they are 
fine to use throughout the border, or to 
clump with Asters. 
pycnostachya. To 5 feet high, from a bulbous 
root. The stem may have buds along the 
entire top third of its length, which open 
(from the top) in brilliant rose-purple flowers. 
August and September. 
scariosa. May grow 6 feet tall, but is much 
like the preceding, save that the flower heads 
are widely spaced, and the effect is not a 
close spike of bloom. The color is similar. 
scariosa alba. Rare white form of the preced- 
ing. 35 cts. each; 10 for $3.00. 
LILIUM. Lily. The true Lilies are found 
throughout the northern hemisphere, mostly 
in open woodland, though some come from 
open meadows, at some elevation. They are 
notably plants of cool climates, and better for 
protection of their bulbous roots by mulch or 
shade during the summer heat. In soils, 
they like good loams, well drained. Some 
species are more particular than others, but 
an average garden soil should grow almost 
all sorts. For their use, much might be said, 
but above all else, they are plants to scatter 
throughout the mixed border, as the other 
plants afford them the shade they need, and 
in turn, they may be arranged to give color 
to parts of the border where blooms have 
passed or not yet arrived.
