Moertensia. Virginica 
(VIRGINIA BLUE BELLS). 
As an early Spring flower, requiring hardly any care, Mertensia is 
most useful, regardless of the type of planting. The plant grows from 
one to two feet high bears a panicle of flowers about one inch long 
in short pendent clusters of a porcelain-blue and soft pink combination. 
In the border, the rockgarden, or for naturalizing in the woods it makes 
a lovely companion for the Daffodils, being in bloom at the same time, 
continuing into the month of May. 
The roots should be planted immediately upon delivery, about two to 
three inches deep and without further care they will establish them- 
selves and increase.
