. The Aiken Nurseries Putney, Vermont. Plants Vermont Catalogs; Trees Vermont Catalogs; Flowers Vermont Catalogs; Nursery stock Vermont Catalogs; Horticulture Vermont Catalogs. Wildflowers. WHITE WATER LILY FRAGRANT WHITE WATERLILY. Nym- phaea odorata. Of easy culture in a sunny pool. Blooms in Summer. SHOWY ORCHIS, Orchis spectabilis. One of the loveliest, most modest of wildflowers. A white, lower petal usually overhung with three orchid- purple ones. Several blossoms on each stem. Hard- wood leaf mold in partial shade. Delicious!)' scented. 75c each. CREEPING PHLOX, Phlox reptans. Kose-pink flowers on short stems above creeping plants in late May and early June. One of the best to pro- vide patches of pink among deciduous trees. It actually prefers poor, thin, acid soil at which most flowers would turn up their noses in disgust. MAYAPPLE, Podophyllum peltatum. The single, white fragrant flower, sometimes 2 inches across, has its beauty concealed by the immense peltated leaf above it. The fruit, an inch or more in diameter, ripening in late Summer, is round and yellowish-green, edible if one likes the flavor, or rather lack of flavor, but the foliage and roots are said to be poisonous, so confine your gastro- nomic experiments to the fruit alone. Rich soil in light shade. GREEK-VALERIAN, Polemonium reptans. Beautiful, clear blue flowers in May and June on fern-like foliage a foot high. Grows in light shade or even in full sun in the North. SOLOMONSEAL, Polygonatum biflorum. Blue berries in Autumn. Small green bell-flowers on gracefully arching leaf fronds sometimes 18 inches long in May and June. Hardwoods soil and dense shade. GREAT SOLOMONSEAL, Polygonatum com- mutatum. Giant yellow bells in May and June on plants 3 to 4 feet high. Rich soil in light shade. OCOTJEE-BELLS, Shortia galacifoiia. One of the most attractive of the wildflowers. Pink tinged white, drooping hell-shaped flowers. 50c each; 3 for $ ; 12 for $ FALSE SOLOMONSEAL, Smilacina racemosa.
