KALMIOPSIS *leachiana—A very rare and 
local shrub, belonging to the Rhododen- 
dron family. Found in only a few local 
spots in the wilds of Southern Oregon, it 
is very hardy and not particular as to 
soil, except that we do not recommend 
soils which are alkaline. Perfect drain- 
age is essential, and if some peat or leaf 
mold, and sand or silt is added to the 
soil, the shrubs will soon repay you for 
the extra trouble. Would also give some 
shade in very hot, dry climates, with 
occasional sprinklings on hot days. It 
grows from 8 to 12 inches high, spread- 
ing slowly by underground runners and 
also layered branches. Foliage is small 
and dark green and the flowers are pink, 
about the same size and color of a Kal- 
mia, but not as pouchy. Flowering period 
extends from May to July. $1.50, $2.00 
and $2.50 each.

PENSTEMON — This American genus fur- 
nishes us with the finest material for 
rock and wall work. The requirements 
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.
