1 DICENTRA SWEETHEART 
Blossoms that are hearts of snowiest whiteness, carried in 
graceful plumes above fern-foliage of translucent sea-green. 
This rare and delightful variety of Dicentra formosa is in 
constant bloom, May into November. It is shade-tolerant, and 
gives charming effects in open woodland, against shrubbery 
or when planted on the north or east of a building, but it 
will flower just as long and freely in full, hot sun if a 
good mulching of straw, leaves or grass clippings be spread 
about the plants. The Sweetheart Dicentra thrives best in 
deep rich soil. Long-lived and of full hardiness. Plants, one- 
season size, each $1.25; 3 for $3.50; 10 for $10.50.
