Explaination of the headings. The headings for each genus, starts with the genus 
anne Mirabilis, followed by the pronounciation; next in capitals as FOUR O’CLOCKS, 
are the common names, if any; then the family to which it belongs, always ending in 
eae, which will help many flower growers in classifying many of its requirements. The 
figures in brackets as (*15 days) are the days required for a normal germination and the 
star * before, if present, means that the time is variable but germination can be looked 
for at the time indicated; star alone means no definite time and it could be a year. 
Bb means bulb; Tr, tree; Sh, shrub; T, frost tender,; W white; lvs, leaves Cl, climber.

We receive many comments in the mail 
from subscribers, much like the following 
from F. W. Boyer of the Lane Gardens and. 
Nursery of Eugene, Oregon, “That is the 
finest Magazine I have ever had the pleas- 
ure of reading. I am always on the look- 
out for the new and rare in plant life. Keep 
up the good work.” 
As Mr. Welch remarks in this month’s 
Iris Column, there is much to flower grow- 
ing beyond the mere planting of the sama 
kind of flower year after year and for those 
who grow something different each year, 
there is also the added pleasure of looking 
forward to its flowers. Practical informat- 
ion will always receive first place in our col- 
umn; we ask that more readers send in short 
items on their experiences in growing differ- 
ent flowers. 
CAMPANULA ISOPHYLLIA 
The following is in responce to our re- 
quest for those growing Campanula isophy- 
llia alba. 
I have grown this Campanula for several 
years. It begins to bloom the latter part of 
July here and for about two months. I 
have often wondered why more people do 
not grow it for they are so beautiful.
