THE ANNUAL INCARVILLEA 
Blossoms that are widely flaring, lobed 
trumpets, rather of Gloxinia form, are 
carried gracefully in long succession on 
many swaying wands of stems. The 
coloring may be cream, pink, or at 
times a suffused blending of the tones. 
The flowers are about 144 inches wide, 
just under two inches in length. The 
foliage is fine, bipinnate or even fur- 
ther cut, more or less what most of us 
eall fern-like, and the several bloom- 
bearing stems may reach 30 inches of 
height. Sown fairly early where plants 
are to stand, flowering should begin 
in early July. For a still longer season, 
start early under glass, as you might 
Asters or Scarlet Sage, transplant to 
open as soon as weather is warm, and 
you can have bloom by end of May, 
eontinually from then until November. This

THE LION’S TAIL 
That’s the folk-name for it in its 
native South African land, though they 
call it, too, The Lion’s Ear, leonine 
association at one end or the other, 
obviously through the odd-flower form 
and the downy orange richness of it. 
It is LEONOTIS LEONURUS, grown 
as an annual North by starting under 
glass and transplanting, giving then 
several weeks of flaming color in the 
autumn season of the hardy Chrysan- 
themums. Flowers are in whorls about 
the stem, whorl above whorl above 
whorl, and there could hardly be a 
more vivid red-toned orange than they 
show. Sometimes grown as a large pot 
plant under glass also, and South it 
may be wintered as a perennial. A long-lasting cut flower. 
Will dry as a strawflower. Illustrated opposite.—cbk(w)
