Scabiosa graminifolia, a delicate-leaved species possessed of light violet flowers, and the pink-mauve Scabiosa parnassiae- folia. are interesting as being relatives of the familiar S. Caucasica, and are hardy enough to thrive in shade. Salvia Przewalskyana is a tall grow- er, reaching a height of four feet. It is quite hardy, bearing very large bunches of flowers that are of many tints of blue. Salvia argentea, a white-blooming, beau- tiful-leaved species, three feet in height, and Salvia verbascifolia, with downy white leaves and white blossoms, and of the same height, may well be sown also. Potentilla nitida, the minute pink- blooming rockery plant is little known in some counties. Potentilla crinata, a yel- low-flowered species, reaching a height of two feet, with exquisite white foli- age, is a hardy subject of great value, while connoisseurs in potentillas are sure to admire the dull pure-colored _ P. Thurberi, which grows into a close little bush i8 inches high. Physostegia speciosa compacta rosea has been proved an excellent variety for supplving cut flowers as well as a strik- ing object in bedding arrangements; the flower spikes are bright rose, the height about i8 inches. P. s. alba grandiflora is a somewhat similar white variety. Among pentstemons a choice may well be made of the blue P. heterophyllus, P. Cobsea, white and purple, P. breviflorus, pale yellow, and the graceful light- stemmed white P. laevigatus. Patrinia hispida is, I fancy, a valerian, but the blossom is gold, set in flat heads, excep- tionally lasting when in water; this is a giant plant, over three feet high, while there is a smaller yellow, not half that height, named Patrinia intermedia. Par- danthus Sinensis, a magnificent yellow and red member of the iris family, is a slow germ
