PENTSTEMON BARBATUS. War. torreyi,) Pentsterroon colxxia is an early variety blooming in sum- mer and also Pentstemon harbatun, var. Torreyi. Tt is sonaewhat rare. The foxglove-like flowers are two inclies or more long in a spike of purple striped with white. Petalostemon decuni- bens is one of the prettiest pros- trate plants \vith stems a foot long, on the ends of which are borne dense spikes of deep violet-purple flowers. It commences to bloom in summer and lasts till frost. Platycodon graruMflm-um., large bell-flower, is the same as Wahlenbergia and Ca7wpaiiu,la grandijlora. It is the largest of all the bell flowers. The buds, before opening, become inflated like a balloon. The flower is a shallow bell, two inches or more across and deep blue. It blooms all summer and is very attractive. Salvia pratensis, meadow-sage, is twelve to eighteen inches high, comes from Europe, and bears long spikes of rich blue flowers all summer. Scabiosa Oauoasica is a handsome plant only a foot high. It grows vigorously and bears free- ly beautiful soft lilac flowers, that, when cut, last a long-time in water. There are several herbaceous spireas that merit well a place in the flower-garden. Spiraea Filipendnla, fl. LARGE BELLFLOWER. (platycodon grandiflorum.).
