. Our garden flowers; a popular study of their native lands, their life histories, and their structural affiliations. Flowers. PINK FAMILY of Midsummer Eve and magic power, and, I think, must have some connection with the Crusaders, being called by Gerard 'floure of Jerusalem and floure of Candy.'" Professor Bailey thinks the plant originally came from Japan; evidently it has been so long in cultivation that its origin is lost. A lover of the sun, it glows in the border on a hot summer day with an air of contentment and satisfaction, and often rises head and shoulders above its neigh- bors. The typical color is scar- let or brick-red, but there are varieties with rose-colored, flesh- colored, and white blossoms, also with double flowers. Corn Cockles, Lychnis githtigo, a tall, hairy plant with showy crimson flowers resembling those of the Mullein Pink, is a bad weed in the wheat fields of Europe; its seeds are acrid and unwholesome. Ragged Robin, Lychnis Flos- cuculi var. plenissima, is a very pretty species much grown for spring edgings, as it blooms abun- dantly in May. The petals are deeply cut, the flower clusters lax, and the flowering stem rises from a tuft of lanceolate leaves. Lychnis cmla-rdsa is another favorite form, producing rather small, bright, rose-red Scarlet Lightning. Lychnis chalcedonica MULLEIN PINK. ROSE CAMPION Lychnis coronhria. AgrosUmna coronaria. A perennial herb, readily recognized by its hoary foliage, forked style of growth, and splendid solitary flowers. Native to southern Europe. Long in cultivation. July, August. 136.
