PENTSTEMON 
Beard-Tongque 
Few genera among the popular hardy peren- 
nials afford a greater number that are so at- 
tractive. Their natural gracefulness, variety of 
colors, and great abundance of flowers make 
them useful in many places. Though hardy as 
a rule, too much frost with an excess of mois- 
ture in winter seems to be fatal to most of 
this genus. The flowers are tubular and like 
Foxglove in shape. 
GARNET. A new hardy Pentstemon with 
bright scarlet flowers, gracefully placed on 
stems 12 to 18 inches tall. Each plant produces 
from six to twelve spikes through the flowering 
season. Blooms from June until stopped by 
frost. Its opportunities are unlimited as a profit 
maker,
