PERENNIALS AND CALIFORNIA BULBS 15 quite lasting, it is not too easy to establish, and I guarantee nothing excepting that good roots are sent out. Sit., a warm, sunny place. Soil, loose and well-drained. Prop., seeds and plants; seedlings are apt to damp off. PL, October to December. 25 cts. each. $2.50 per doz. D. nudicaule is a similar plant, usually a foot to 18 inches high, with very pretty foliage and scarlet flowers. Culture as for last. A prettier plant and flower than the Giant Larkspur. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz. DIANTHUS, Hardy Pinks for the Garden. Among these the Pheasant-Eyed Pinks stand well to the front. They are strong-growing plants with blue-green masses of foliage, always good and very many flowers on long stems. Hardy, very fragrant, and pretty, they are among our best garden flowers. Planted about 10 inches apart they make a fine margin for a large border. Strong plants in mixed colors, 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz. Cushion and Rock Pinks. These are wild species or hybrids of wild species and are compact little plants with fragrant flowers and wonderful hardiness. There are no better plants for the rockwork or hard places in the border. They will resist heat and drought. D. caesius. The Cheddar Pink makes a dense, grassy cushion as much as a foot across and little over an inch high. Above this, on slender stems, are borne great numbers of rose-pink flowers which are very fragrant. A good rock-plant and a very fine edging for beds. Strong plants, 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz. D. deltoides, Brilliant, is a low, slender sort with bright rose-colored flowers. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz. D., Integer is a small, compact sort with white flowers.

Of these I have many, including both the garden carnation types of Hardy Pinks and Alpine and dwarf sorts. Lists on application. The finest of rock-plants. DK3ENTRA spectabilis is the Bleeding Heart of old gardens and a very handsome plant. It grows I to 2 feet in height, with graceful branches, fernlike foliage, and a long raceme of heart-shaped, rosy pink flowers, pendent below. It is an excellent plant for winter forcing. It thrives in a shaded position, but in the well-planned fern-bed, where an exquisite combination of contrasting ferns, mingled with heucheras and similar shade- loving plants, is completed by a soft, solid ground-cover, it is most charming. Sit., shade to deep shade. Soil, any loam. Prop., divisions. PL, October to March. Strong roots, 60c. D. formosa is the Western Dutchman's Breeches. It is most beautiful in its feathery foliage and makes a fine ground- cover. Sit., shade to heavy shade. Soil, loose and preferably with mold. It spreads by underground runners to make very handsome colonies. 10 cts. each, $1 per doz. DIGITALIS. See Foxgloves, on page 18. DICTAMNUS, or Gas Plants, are very stout, erect plants, quite leafy at the base and bearing at the top of the stem spikes of showy flowers. A well-grown clump is very ornamental. They are very hardy and lasting when established. D. fraxinella grows to 3 feet, with red flowers. D. fraxinella albus has pure white flowers. Sit., sun. Soil, any garden loam, and better if well worked. Prop., seedlings which are long in flowering. PL, October to April. Strong plants, 30 cts. each, $3 per doz. DORONICUM Clusii, or Flea-Bane, is a plant that, either in the garden or as a cut-flower, is greatly admired. With light yellow flowers nearly as large as the Shasta Daisy, and blooming very early and Dictamnus (Gas Plant)
