FOR BANKS AND HILLSIDES

perennial of full winter hardiness, that will keep any bank 
or slope from washing, covering it with a rich, billowing green- 
ness of pinnate foliage. In June and early July come crown- 
shaped clusters of pretty blossoms in Cosmos pink. Growth is 
swift and dense, smothering coarse weeds, and the quick root 
network prevents soil erosion from heavy rains. Thrives in 
poor, dry soils. The flowers cut and keep well. ‘“‘K’’ culture.
