DICENTRA OREGANA 
DICTAMNUS albus (Gas-Plant)—A very sat- 
isfactory plant, both on account of its 
showy flowers and fragrant, rich and 
durable foliage. Grows about 2 feet high 
and during the summer months produces 
its odd-shaped flowers of white. Should 
be planted in a permanent place, as it 
improves with age. Full sun in a heavy 
soil. 3 yr. old plants, 50c each. 
a. rubra — (Purple Gas-Plant.) Spikes of 
rosy pink flowers with deeper veins dur- 
ing June and July. 50c each. 
DIGITALIS, Foxgloves—Mixed colors. 25c 
each. 
DODECATHEON — (Shooting-Star) Also 
called Wild Cyclamens, the flowers re- 
sembling those of the hardy Cyclamen. 
They are among the finest of our far 
western early flowering alpines. They 
form close rosettes of rather broad 
leaves, from which naked stems arise 
with umbels of Cyclamen-like flowers. 
from March to May. We recommend 
planting them from early March to July, 
as they do not split into small divisions 
during that time, in a light moist soil, 
which has plenty of humus. From 1 to 2 
inches deep, with partial shade. 
*Colrigo—In our opinion the most out- 
standing of all western Dodecatheons. A 
very rare sp., from the Columbia River 
Gorge, with bright pink flowers on 6 inch 
stems. 60c each,
