SLENDER LEAVED PEONY. (P^ONIA TENUIFOLIA, ri- PL.) are usually the annual kinds, but the herbaceous kind, J^. Carolma, bears beautiful pink-purple flowers, more than an inch, across. It grows about a foot high and blooms all summer. Phlox stella/ria, starry phlox, is a similar free-blooming summer kind of about the same height that bears white flowers. The bachelor's-button (Ranun- culm speciosus, jl. pi-)-, grows a foot high, and displays large golden- yellow flowers, invariably double. Silene Virgiiiiva (fire pink) is one of the finest catchflies, and produces brilliant scailet flowers, an inch or more in diameter, from June to August. It grows about a foot high. Statices are among the best and most desirable herbaceous plants. Their flowers are of long duration, and when cut and dried are eflEec- tive for winter decoration, as they retain their color in a dried state. One of the best is Statice latifolia. It bears in June immense panicles of bright blue flowers, often two feet across. Its native place is Southern Russia, and it only grows about a foot high. The familiar name of this type of plant is wound- wort. Meadow-i'ue or Thalictrum,, bearing large panicles of flowers in summer, presents one of its best effects in speciosum, a fine large yellow-flowered sort. SEA LAVENDER. (STATICE LATrFOLlA.).
