24”, Only the sturdy bee may force his way into the 
tight, blue, bottle-like blossoms for nectar. Fall- 
blooming in moist meadows. 
GENTIANA CRINITA—(B) 12-36” biennial. The 
famous “Fringed Gentian” which has trapped a bit

treasure to have.

24” annual with many 1” downy, purple, tubular

rapidly to 24” by the height of bloom. Like moisture 
in sun or shade. Regular packet, 50¢.

now but seed mailed in late Spring. Sow immediately.
