FOXGLOVE (Digitalis) 
Foxgloves, which do well in either sun or partial shade are bien- 
nials which bloom in May and June. This means that unlike 
perennials, they bloom only once from seed sown the previous 
year. For that reason, many gardeners sow seed each year in 
late May among existing plants so that the young plants replace 
the old ones when they have finished bloom. 
2725—EXCELSIOR STRAIN, MIXED COLORS. (Biennial.) Here is a 
new digitalis that is unusually attractive because the florets are 
produced all around the stem and are held horizontal or nearly 
erect. Thus the full effect of the markings and contrasting colors 
inside the tubes are revealed. Colors range from white, through 
cream, primrose, delicate pinks to deep rose and lavender. 5’—6’.
