Dicentraspectabilis, sometimes called Dielyt/ra spectabilis, is one of the bleeding-hearts that„ appears in spring and blooms on into early summer. It is one of the best-known and most charming of herbaceous plants, with graceful, droop- ing racemes of heart- shaped flowers of rosy crimson and silvery white. It grows one to two feet high, and comes from Northern Chi- na. There are some pretty spring-bloom- ing irises,—cristata, the crested dwarf iris, is one of them. It is a little native plant growing only three to six inches high, with large pale-blue flowers. Then there is Iris pumila, a little taller, six to nine inches high, with yellow, white, and blue flowers in early spring. 7;-^^ vei-Tia (vernal iris) is another dwarf species, three to eight inches high, from the South, with violet-blue flowers in May. It is very fragrant, and is a rare and desirable sort. All these little spring irises are well fitted for planting in rock-work.
