PHYGELIUS (Fy-gee’-li-us)—-Cape Fuchsia 
capensis—We cannot understand why this plant should be so 
little known. It is without question one of the very finest of 
all hardy perennials. The shapely 3’ plants are covered with 
intense scarlet, tubular shaped flowers from July to Sep- 
tember. One of the brightest of all hardy plants. Quite 
shrubby in mild climates. With us it must come from the 
‘ground each year, but entirely hardy anywhere. Full sun or 
light shade. 75c each; 3 for $2.00; doz. $7.50 
PENSTEMON (Pen’‘-ste-mon)—Beard Tongue 
A group of such importance that every gardener should 
include a goodly collection in the framework of his planting. 
They are of easiest culture, perfectly hardy and permanent, 
and for brilliance in garden display or usefulness for cut- 
ting they are in the front ranks. The dwarfer sorts are most- 
ly true evergreen shrubs and natural-born rockery plants, 
coming from nature’s own rockeries. Our visitors invariably 
buy Pentstemons so our enthusiasm is also shared by those 
who see them. Sun loving plants for rather poor sandy soil. 
No plant gives more and asks less than these lovely Pent- 
stemon.
