allied to Spirea. Prostrate and trailing 
undershrub, forming dense carpets of

der trees and small shrubs. 35c each.

PENTSTEMON—This American genus fur- — 
nishes us with the finest material for

for their success are simple: a gritty or — 
stony soil, without any fertilizer except- 
ing leaf-mold, perfect drainage and full 
sun. Amid the almost universal con- 
fusion of names in this family, it is diffi- 
cult indeed to be sure of names. Insofar 
as possible, plants listed below have 
been identified by comparison with herb- — 
barium specimens named by National 
Museum botanists, or by direct identifi- 
cation by them of specimens.

green species with somewhat silvered
