1 GENTIAN, the SKY-MIRROR 
Blue for Gentian, Gentian for blue, almost the words are 
synonyms, for where else may one find flower-pitchers 
that overflow with such ultramarine richness. Neither are 
they overly hard to grow, no reason at all why every 
American rock garden, every hardy perennial border should 
not be jeweled with Gentians. They like deep, rich soil and 
cool root runs, but the last is easy if you will but give 
them a straw or leaf mulching to keep ground tempera- 
tures lower and help hold moisture. Water well in drought, 
so that roots are thoroughly reached. “kt’’ culture. ACAU-
