COLLINSIA VARNA 
Blue-eyed Mary. This is a pretty little 
plant that is attractive in beds. It grows 
about 12” tall with showy little flowers, the 
lower lip bright blue and the upper, white or 
purplish. 
The seed ripens in June and should be 
planted as soon as ripe. Bailey lists them 
as annuals but ours is all sown in June when 
they germinate in early September, flowering 
the following June. 
After you get them started they reseed 
themselves and you will always have these 
attractive flowers in your garden. They 
should be nice in the wild garden, under trees 
or shrubbery and such places. The seed 
comes in good sized packages and costs 50¢. 
SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 per YEAR. 
We hope the new magazine you are read- 
ing will not only be of much interest to you, 
but more that it will also be of value in your 
gardening operations. We cannot send it 
out in the future free of charge; that’s some- 
thing the times prevent! : 
We will mail a copy or two to all on our 
present list and those not subscribing, will be 
considered as not interested and the name, to 
our regret, dropped. 
The subscription price for the present is 
$2.00 per year of 12 issues; however this will 
have to be raised soon to $3.00. Those who 
have subscribed under the old rate will con- 
tinue to receive the new magazine at the old 
rate till their subscription expires. 
We cannot furnish back copies and as 
each issue is a continuation of the preceeding 
one you will find them of more value if you 
have them all.

information reaches us a good 40 days in

would be pleased to hear from anyone know- 
ing of a source: 
Leontice, Aceranthus (an Epimedium?) and 
Leitneria floridana. 
Gnaphalium sylvaticum, native of the north 
eastern states. Our reader who asks for this 
calls it “Golden Motherwort”, however this 
may be wrong. 
Cleome is easily grown from seed and 
should be planted in May when they germ- 
inate quickly. Thin the plants to 2 feet a- 
part in the row. They make excellent 
border subjects and most desirable cutflow-

them a hedge!
